Re: Tumour vs Abscess in GSP

its not as difficult as it seems, and actually, it can ned up with you keeping marines... it did with me anyways. :D It doesnt need to be precise.. just use a good quality marine salt, and get yourself a refractometer off fleabay for £20... that is the best way of measuring the salinity of you water...

Re: Tumour vs Abscess in GSP

well done on getting him to 10 years old!! And well done for working hard to get his teeth sorted. I'm wondering if his mouth has been stuck open for so long now it may have sort of set... the jaw somehow set together. If you've got his teeth alot shorter it may just take time for him to be able to ...

Re: Elvis and Ich (It won't go away)

Ingredients: 3.6 mg Malachite Green and 60 mg Nitrofurazone per packet. One Packet treats 10 gallons. The tank is 156 gallons and the sump is 55 gallons. I've used 19 packets for treatment. I wanted to use enough to treat the sump and tank. I hated to do it but I want this Ich gone. malachite green...

Re: Elvis and Ich (It won't go away)

what's in the ich cure? As you have a fish only i think that sort of treatment is fine, you should see the list of nasty chemicals that have gone in my tank to try and stop my flesh eating bug!

Is it a reef safe med? Or a fish only med? :)

Re: Bitten!

No sorry I don't. I just know they make one for marine. :? I didn't know that! It's a good thing too, because the FW kind really bubbles up the surface, in SW. You certainly can't use a skimmer with it, as it would overflow with foam. The marine version still sends the skimmer loopy... it seems to ...

Re: BIG PROBLEMS... all puffers sick... PICS ADDED

well, stars is ok, healing well.. ceylon not so good, being harassed by the other fish and still a mess... pouring melafix directly on her skin + adding it to tank... may have to set up another quarentine tank to house ceylon in so i can work on her without working on the rest of the tank. stressful...

Re: Elvis and Ich (It won't go away)

well in that case it isn't ich in either form... you cant get brackish whitespot... can you?? It's either freshwater whitespot, solved by raising salinity (where tolerable) or its saltwater ich which is solved by lowering salinity.. it cant live at 1.009... are you sure your hydrometer is correct ???

Re: Elvis and Ich (It won't go away)

that can't be right... it just cant be. I've done hypo loads (in quarentine tanks) and it never comes back... the only time it came back was when i intro'd live rock without quarentining first (do we never learn??!) you followed the instructions of this article just as i did... http://www.thepufferf...

Re: Elvis and Ich (It won't go away)

i suspect he's reacting to the rise in SG then, rather than ich... maybe rise by 0.001 a week instead of 0.002.. see if that helps... he probably just doesnt like the change in salinity, although mine never reacted like that, mine never dive bombed the sand when they had ich either... maybe he's jus...

Re: BIG PROBLEMS... all puffers sick... PICS ADDED

that's exactly it... its stripping the coloured layer of skin to reveal the white part, but not going deep enough to make them bleed... think that's the only way i've even stood a chance at saving them... if it had kept burrowing i think i'd have lost alot more..! Not out of the woods yet, they have...
