Ich or worse?

[Tracey2]

Could be velvet if you are loosing them that quick, have you added anything new to your tank lately?

[Magma]

nothing new has been added since before Xmas, only changes I have made is I started to feed sinking pellets along on opposite days from when I feed mysis shrimp

[mark]

sorry to hear

could be ich maybe Brooklynella?

[Magma]

Thanks for the reply

I went through 4 clowns with brooklynella, all of them were true percs. I got sick of replacing them once a week, so I tried out a pair of false percs instead. I find them a bit more hardy.

so its been a weekish since I noticed this...the tank well had horrible losses. I moved out the clown ASAP and got him into the QT tank. I went out and got some meds the next day after work but when I came home hes gone..along with the gramma, mandrain and a chromis. But I still have one happy little chromis in the tank

Inverts are doing ok it looks like the corals are doing great done a water change every few days now and the last fish seems to be doing ok. I think I will end up shuting this tank down in a few weeks and moving the live rock into a bin and the corals into my other tank. Hopefully reuse some of the LR in the sump of the other tank once I find more info on brooklynella and if it stays on the rock once the fish are gone.
