Still trying to find the right treatment for this slime sluffing Im still guessing is clownfish desies.... weird they were fine for months till the powder got stressed though?

Best of luck with your treatment & sure hope you don't lose too much, but... seems to me looking at your tank build that it hasn't been up all that long & a lot of livestock was added in a short period of time (end of November 2011?). Correct me if I'm wrong, however if this is the case that will certainly have an impact on the health of your fish. Sure a 300 is a large tank & is probably more forgiving when adding livestock, but it's still best to take your time. Sorry I don't have any advice as to treatment & that's been pretty well covered so far in the thread. Again, hope things work out ok & the remaining livestock stays healthy.
