Crappy news!! Hope that works out for you. What kind of filtration have you got on the treatment tank? I lost half my fish from a poorly planned treatment tank...
|
Hospital tank is set up as follows:
55 gal tank 50% tank water 50% new aged SW Filtration is a magnum HOB cannister filled with filter floss and A sponge filter I keep in my sump for emergencies. 200 watt heater set to 82'. Also I've got a remora nano HOB skimmer on there, not to skim really just to oxygenate the water more. A few chunks of dry Marco rock as hiding places. Currently I'm mixing more SW so I can do small daily water changes too. |
Filter is a good start. I had none, so NH3 went through the roof and added the final blow to kill most of the fish.

dude!.....sorry to hear:sad:
|
Man thats rough! Sorry to hear that. Good luck fixin all the fishies.
Tank is looking great as well! Hopefully everything turns out ok. |
Well a bit of an update.
Day 2 of copper treatment and no deaths! The fish looked a little better today and they all ate some food. Mixed up a custom nutritional mush for them consisting of seafood chunks nori algae wafers selcon and garlic. Total deaths so far: Powder Blue Tang (aka Bluey) 2 domino damsels I will be keeping the fish in quarantine for 8 weeks to let all the cysts in the display die off. It looks so quiet! |

Brad are you doing 8 weeks too? That seems be the concensus from what I've read but some say 10?
|
I read 42 days somewhere, 8 weeks was being safe. Not sure where I found that though.
