We are so very grateful to Emily B. for dropping by. We acquired a bucket of Kent from her, and after cleaning out the salt water holding tank and making new s/w, I did a 10% change yesterday evening and again this morning. I will do another one this evening. BTW, how often should I do changes given the fact that a damsel and a clown are still missing, presumably dead somewhere in the tank?
The cowfish, trigger, and a tomato clown have gradually improved since this am, and are eating from the handybandy nori feeder I made from Emily B.s instructions! (Can I reuse it if it dries out?) The 3 Tangs were the only fish that seemed unaffected by the high pH. The butterfly fish is still in the quarantine tank, and has given up the whirligigs it was doing this am. It is now mostly vertical and right way up, but not eating yet. I have replaced 3 juice jugs of water from its 20 gal tank each time I did the big tank changes.
I wrote to J&L where I got the salt from, and they confirmed it was probably one of the bad batch. So I will contact IO directly now, as they will make some kind of reparation.
Breathing easier and very pleased to know such kind people,
Anne
