Might have to eat my own words re: quarantine

I think half the bad was caused by the treatment tank having no mature filter

this place has it http://www.fishchemical.com/Products...2937.Item.html

But I think you have to have a business to order it in for you and not to sure if you can get it shipped to Canada (although it says they ship to 14 countries).

I won't feel so go shipping it to my friend in the States and trying to bring a 1 kilo bag of white power across the border.

Cheers,
Vic

Thanks Vic, I'll look into that.

So sorry for your losses. I did the same thing a few months ago, set up an emerg qt, moved all my fish and treated with copper. No cycle, no cycled filter. Within hours I lost my clowns and slowly lost all but my chromis and cardinal, in total 6 fish. After 6 weeks the chromis developed lympho, at that point I decided enough. I couldn't get the ammonia to 0 even though I was changing the water everyday, cleaning the filters, vacuuming uneaten food and poop. I moved the fish back to the dt, the chromis dies within a week, still have the cardinal. I've only dealt with ich, nothing as serious as what you are dealing with, but I said I'd never qt another fish as it seemed what I was doing ended up being just cruel. I'll be switching tanks soon and hoping to keep my smaller tank running as a qt but have not yet decided.

I don't have any advise to offer you, I hope this all gets sorted out and you don't lose everything.

Like I mentioned, I'll keep this treatment tank going for a while, and buy all the future fish at once and qt/treat accordingly. Once they go in, no new fish.
My naso is white, on the bottom of the tank, almost lifeless. I just added the chloroquine and pumped water across the naso's gills. Some color has returned and she's breathing faster. Here's hoping she pulls through...

Naso is gone

Also, good idea #2 that isn't very good. Don't do water changes from one tank into another. SPS water got added to my daughter's tank, which I'm now dismantling to catch the infected fish....sigh

Brad, really sorry to hear that you are experiencing more losses. I still have a 90 gallon sitting in my garage if you need another tank.
