Brown algae

[sha299]

Hi reefers. Had brown algae the previous day, so went to buy chemiclean. Overnight my blue tang, powder blu, and powder brown suddenly got spots all over their bodies.

 

What shall I do now? Quarantine just the fishes or need to remove all the water & change completely?

First confirm that if affect fish is contacted w ich/ velvet

You would have two choices, take them out for QT or feed them well and hope they can fight the disease (you can use medic by polyplab & install a UV filter to increase your chances of survival)

If the fishes is full of ich the best way is don't catch them out as long as they are eating well.

Generally they can recover if their immunity system is gd. Feed them rich vitamin food and ensure water quality is stable.

Saw a few cases of AT having bad ich and recovered.

What I did previously was transfer a large mass of water into multiple basin until the tank left like 10-20% water.
After that, you can easily scope out the fishes to QT. Than only you slowly pour back the water into main tank.
