From your post I feel that everyone else is still alive so far? I am sure hoping so!!! It seems promising.

Pretty much all the live rock has been taken out this tank and we're hopeful that tonight when he's out and about we should be able to get him.

As soon as we catch him he will be going into the QT tank, and we will be leaving the display tanks fish free for at least 6 weeks in order to kill off the disease in the tanks.

WOOOOHOOO (all and all considering) today is the first day in a week that I didn't wake up to dead fish and I didn't come home to dead fish My king was lethargic and not really moving around or eating the past 2 days and today she is swimming around a bit and she ate a bit too. The rest of the fish seem to be ok too. Other then the Sohal tang. The Sohal is swimming around eating lots and acting semi normal but his face is awful, literally half of the skin on his face has fallen off Doesn't seem to be slowing him down, but it looks just awful.

Also we finally caught the red corris wrasse today and she is now in QT with everyone else, seems to be doing fine in there.

Yessss! :whoo :

Awesome to hear! Any good sign at point is GREAT. That means that copper is killing off the dinos off of the fish.

I agree, thanks Lance

Also (my boyfriend) Steve's brother and sister in law just stopped by and gave us a sympathy card and a $50 Big Als gift card I have to say it was extremely nice and thoughtful of them to do so.

That was very thoughtful of them. It's good to hear that things appear to have turned the corner. Hopefully all uphill from here, keep the water quality up and the sohals face may just clear up on its own

I have been waiting the whole entire night wondering what the news would be.

Thank goodness this might finally be starting to settle down and die. I think about how tings are going for you an awful lot.

Thanks goodness for good news for a change. You really are a trooper. I have panic attacks just thinking of what you must be going through.

We're trying to keep the water quality up and good to know about the Sohal, hopefully he will heal up and make it.
