Sick Fish...HELP! (Newbie)

[digital-audiophile]

I also noticed that your salinty is really low. I know most like to keep it around the 1.024-1.025 range.

Thanks again for your advice guys...

So at this level of Amonia is this what is possibly Killing my fish?

Also does anyone know if ANY of these products do ANYTHING at all?

I have "Amquel" which a pet store told me does something to bind with the Amonia and then it is reoved?

I have "Prime" which says "Removes Chlorin,Chloramin and Amonia and provides a Slime Coat"

And I spent $80 on a tiny bottle of stuff called "No Sick Fish" from Big Al's...

Any slight possiblity any of this can save my fish?

Thanks again.

PS- sorry about the typos....I am actually not completely illiterate.

I just run downstairs to see my tank and my fish languishing close to oblivion then smash my head off a wall as punishment for stupidity....then come type something again, (so my spelling is a lil' off) lol

Cheers!

I use Prime for chlorine removal. I didn't even know it removes ammonia until today, so I'm not sure about that. But it's the best for chlorine removal, IMO.

Cycle is a big waste of money, IMO. I've used it to start new tanks, particularly freshwater. I also used to use it religiously once a week in my FW tanks. Finally, in looking for areas to cut costs, I asked myself "Why am I adding bacteria to my tanks when they already have bacteria in them". So I took the question to my LFS and the manager advised me that ya, it's a waste of money. BTW, Cycle is like 95% water, or something like that. I can't remember if I used it when I started in SW. But I would never think of using it for SW start up now. Live Rock and a scoop or two of Live Sand is all you really need. A few cheap fish, like Chromis, would help the cycle too. If you put enough Live Rock in you may get no cycle at all. Long story short: dump the Cycle.

Not familiar with Aquamel or No Sick Fish.

Prime: Thumbs up.
Cycle: Thumbs down.

HTH and cheers,

PS: I agree that the Naso is too big for a 90. Get a bigger tank or find a new home for it, IMO.
