Sonny, you got yourself a new goldflake? nice nice. hows the AT doing? Seem doing pretty good in the pic. got to say recent batch of AT from LCK is good. and the Black tang grown so much, and it seem getting better.

Hi Larry, I think it's located in Chicago, States, if i'm not wrong.

let it split and grow, your rock still got some free space. your rock will look better when ur mushies are all covering the rock. so dun worry about that. cheers

Hi mitlancer, good do with yout atlantis tank. it is also normal for mushrooms having 2 heads and i believe it is splitting. happy reefing mitlancer

use complete buffer might be a better solution to overcome that. to be honest, i wont be bothered too much if salinity is low. i will just buffer it with caution. it is able to bring it up to 8.3.

good. no matter what, do it with extreme caution and patience. ick might strikes back if you raise salinity too quickly and not patience enough. and this time, it will caught ur fish off guard. all the best.

in my own perception, the cause its no parasites or infection but rather environmental. im 99% sure. i experience these before during my hypo as well. to simply say, its like HLLE to me. as you observe closely on the picture of your sailfin tang, the dots are more of aligned with the lateral lines on the side of the fish and the finnage is uneven to me. looking at your YT also reminds me of my YT during hypo. "dots on the head" main cause includes not enough "elements" in environment causing those HLLE, another contributing factor might be pH too. and a factor thats contribute to HLLE is ozone, but ur ozone dosage is fairly low but I will suggest shutting it off completely till your fish recover or else the finnage will be hard to recover or perhaps never going to recover from my experience with higher dose of ozone. if you are worried about pH, use more "complete buffer". baking soda is not a complete buffer but it is still useful and cheap at times. and even if you use baking soda, theres a fear you might overdose. so take note. this problem can be counter off with you starting to increase your salinity back to standards. though they are feeding, it is not enough. dosing amino and vits to your food and water is a plus^3 point. trace elements too. so take note. and discard your smelly rotten egg water outside the tank, when its done with the smell, then drip back into the tank. do something before its too late to reverse it. all the best Joe

hi Joe, before i give me assumption, let me ask you these questions Qns 1) Dozing ozone? if so how much? Qns 2) Denitrator smelling of rotten egg? Qns 3) When is the last time you change carbon? Qns 4) when is the first time you witness such "disease" advancing? with regards to start of ur hypo treatment Qns 5) when is the last time you change water? Qns 6) hows your denitrator flow rate like? peeing style? dripping style? best if u can measure ph in ur tank. qns 7) in ur own perception, is ur sailfin dorsal nipped due to aggression?

hi ming, i thought Dr evil wants it?

some of them swim normally, while some of them swimming up side down. like basslet

that i couldnt agree more.

thats not bad, then hope he come back in a bigger bang.

sorry to hear that nuclear, hope u make a come back soon regards

i bet on ick as well, but flukes can infect the gills of a fish as well. but thats uncommon. so take note of that.

hi Blenny, yes, i seen it myself, feeding it and test it's ondition. its good. why so doubtful? but still the decision is up to you.

yes terry, about there for lck price

hiz pandagold, YTs are reef safe.

do you have leopard wrasse? i love the leopard brintz i wonder got zeBRA brintz fish or not. i love zeBRA brintz, it goes well with jeanzzzz and it sure make your tank... you know? boomz~~

thank you comycus. i hope it continue to do well. now watching their diets. very scared they eat too much as the food i prepared very potent and will lead to constipation. but one of my choatis is always slow to snatch food so need to feed more. and kai, ok i go find formaldehyde and pour into your tank. preserve everything inside!!

im sorry to hear that reefzzz. dun worry, black clowns are alway available and when come in whole numbers, im sure there are unique patterns up for u to grab. all the best for your next pair. and hope ur YT is good by now. add bac for the time being to stablise ur tank more. regards.

kai, frag ur rhomboid's head for ming, and frag the body for me. you can have the tail. i provide knife and 99.9% ethanol for preservation.

agree
