I am thinking about moving them into an overhang as they are not getting any better, and spot feeding is difficult where they are |

![]() Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later
I am Sooo glad I place all new fish in QT Of course, it doesn't help that I don't QT corals, shrimp, snails etc as I've rolled the dice, or rather, spun the cylinder, there Anywhoo - poor Gramma ![]() I saw it flash once before I bought it, but could not see anything, even with a pair of 300+ magnifier glasses on 2 days later and ... ( best pic I could get ) ![]() Last edited by gregzz4; 09-02-2012 at 03:38 AM. |

![]() that sucks man, sorry to hear! My cherub got ich even after a lenghtly qt in hypo. possiby from the stress or possibly cause it wasnt qt long enough or properly. despite that, I bought some herbtana microbe lift, treated the tank for 2 weeks and he was fine for 6 months until losing him in the move. might be worth a shot. its in your system now so your pretty well going to see it from time to time I'm sure. but herbtana worked great for me, plus its reef safe and not stressful to the fish. I think its derived from natural oils from plants (i think.)
good luck man!

The DT is not contaminated ( at least from this fish ) ![]() After this is dealt with I'll leave the QT fallow I'm treating with Paraguard right now and am considering doing a Hypo I was feeling guilty about the firefish being in there, but then I recalled it came from the same system @ the store, so it already has it ![]() |

![]() A little FYI
I have been keeping some LR in the Observation/QT for hiding places and filtration I wasn't worried if it had to be medicated as it's a small piece of rock If I was to ever use copper I would remove it first I've been using Seachem Paraguard daily and so far I've seen; Dead brittle star Dead asterina stars Amphipods are OK Isopods are OK Palys and aiptasia close up right after dosing Aiptasia opens up after about 18 hours Palys don't open at all |

![]() DT is going very well - nothing to report there
QT is definately infected with MI It has come and gone every 2 or 3 days ever since Sept 1st The Royal Gramma has always been hit by it, but now, for the first time, the Purple Firefish has a spot I've been, since Thursday, looking for an SL1 so I can more easily monitor the pH while running hypo I have a plan now and will be picking up a probe Monday I'll be going for a total of 10 weeks before these critters go into the DT 2-3 days of dropping the Sg, 2-3 days while the spots go away, 4 weeks of hypo, 7 days to raise the Sg, and 4 more weeks of monitoring to see if it comes back Yeehaw ![]() At least they are in the QT And I'll be able to put the LR back in the QT after all this as it'll sit fallow in a bucket in the meantime |

![]() I can imagine how peed I'd be if I'd just tossed them in the DT
![]() There is growth happening here and there, but nothing camera worthy yet I'll definately get some pics up once they're worth seeing |
