SRC Member lyz77 Posted May 13, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted May 13, 2006 No not running any UV coz it will also destroy the beneficial bacteria I've been adding using System Reef-resh... after talking to my usual LFS, there are 2 options: 1. To catch the infected fish out and cure them in a separate tank 2. To let the fish fight for its own life... if it happens , just remove it from the tank asap. Other methods like dosing the main tank will do more harm than good to the entire system. Preventive steps like UV and Ozone should be taken earlier, not now I will go for option 2, I will let the 2 Tangs fight for their lives. I heard a lot of Tangs survived and became stronger after that. I know it sounds cruel, but there isn't a way to do it without messing the tank, which in turn will add more stress to the remaining fishes and corals. For me... it's always the forest... I shouldn't jeopardize the entire forest just because of 2 trees At least they are still feeding well... not as "pig" as before... but still eating. Will get them something more appetizing. Another newbie mistake I made along the way... "Dear journal, I need a Q tank"... If I'm not wrong, it's still not too late to run the UV. There's lots of discussion abt UV as there isn't any clear direction or hard fact of hw much beneficial bateria will be kill. Btw, isn't that oni actinic light can produce those neon color on the corals or blue light oso can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err... what's the difference between actinic blue and blue light? Em... if you are going for tube brands made for aquarium use, they are all actinic blue, IMO.

SRC Member KennethK Posted May 13, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted May 13, 2006 This piece of Green Gonio is not opening... partly my fault... I have yet to find it a new location in the tank. My Cleaner Shrimps love hanging around it, and everytime my shrimps landed on them, they will retract. And it happens all the time... so I must move this specimen to the left side of the tank (currently occupied by my deadly Bubble)... the shrimps do not hang out on the left side of the tank This I think is a alvepora instead of gonio.

jervismun Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 This I think is a alvepora instead of gonio. I am so confused... some say Gonio, some say Alveo... Since the specimen is not opening well anyway, I guess no harm treat is as Alveo, I will move it to a position with lower current flow tonight.
