I got lucky. My "immune" fish jumped out of the tank. I then left it 3 months. Worked out well. Are you attached to that fish?? :)

I have three. Two clowns and a bangaii. Its killed all the fish I was attached to, including my 15yr. old percs. No Im not attached to any of them but not sure with the amount of rock I have how to catch them, even with the Bradamatic drain method. :smile:

Guess take down the reef also and try not kill to many corals. Mine are to stupid to jump out.

Im guessing I can treat with cupramine?

Apparently. I've never done it, but copper is an effective med. You need to test levels and stuff though, if I recall. No calcareous substrate either. Pretty sure..:)

Oh is that right. I put some extra live rock in there for biological filtration as I have 4 fishies going in. Wonder if that affects it?

Just read it could affect the absorption & release in the water.I think Im going to leave it in. Tomm is drain & catch day..Blah

With the help of a good friend & Brads super drain & catch your fish technique, my fish are removed and in quarantine. Just inverts & corals in the tank. Bought some cupramine today.
Now hope I don't kill my fish anyways.

Sorry about the losses and troubles . Glad your not giving up.
I had a velvet outbreak once before as well .
Cupramine saved all my remaining fish . It works great .
Lots of oxygen in the quarantine .also found cupramine will make the fish loose appetite . So don't give up , I had a hawkish not eat for about 8 days in quarantine , but still survived.
As for biological filtration cupramine will kill everything. So you have to rely on water changes. But the rock is good for the fish to feel more comfortable . Just make sure you toss it out when your done.

Thanks. Now theres something I never knew. It kills biological filtration. Good grief. What else. If you do large water changes, then your copper level is getting all screwed around. Trying to find a test kit, is like pulling teeth.

If you can wait a week or so, I can send you some CP instead. Easier to manage. I fly out tomorrow, but back on 29th.
