![]() Good luck, helplessly watching all the fish die is the worst experience ever......

![]() Ya, 2 down so far. I'm going to set up a tank and see what I can catch, then decide how to proceed. I may have to sacrifice a couple of smaller fish to save the corals. Tearing apart a tank this size with the amount of SPS I have would end badly.

![]() Greg, pretty sure it is. It hit fast and hard. The filefish was only slightly a concern at 8am. Dead at 10:15.
Denny, the problem is I can't move rock. The design of the tank is such that all the corals essentially encrust the top layer of rock. If I start moving rock, I might as well tear the tank down.

![]() For those of you that have had this.. Is this the way it usually happens? If MV can kill so fast, it doesn't make sense to me that it would take 5-6 weeks AFTER introducing it into your tank for the outbreak to occur.

![]() MV appears to kill fast because it isn't obvious in the early stages, fish appear to be a bit off colour (pale) and twitchy. It's only the final stage that it becomes obvious that there is a parasite in action

![]() I have no idea what triggered it in my 65 gal but I did add a few coral and a couple fish a few weeks prior to MV totally wiping out the tank. Tried to treat all the fish but it was to late.

![]() That is what has me puzzled. The last addition was maybe 5, 6 weeks ago. The fish was doing well, no marks, eating, not stressed. I would expect the pathogen to hit in week 1, not a month and a half later.
