Dan's 150 Rebuild

[SeahorseKeeper]

I hate that you are going through this!! Hopefully, things will start turning around soon.

 

[Sobo's Reef]

Thanks Krista! Me too

Trigger, chromis, both clowns are eating all the time. Both wrasses are hit or miss. My yellow tang comes out when I feed but he doesn't eat. My powder blue is still mia. Might have to pull a rock out and see if he's even alive. Don't wanna have any spikes in the tank.

My big coral banded shrimp is still alive, seems unphased, same with a few hermits and emeralds I couldn't get. A few nassarius snails took the plunge however. Couldn't get em all out.

Good luck Dan. Hope things pull thru for you.

 

[Sobo's Reef]

Thanks Jose. I hope everybody else lives. I fear my PBT is dead however :/ I think he was my favorite

 

[jose7878]

Yeah if he's not coming out for feeding I would probably consider him on the deceased list.

 

[Sobo's Reef]

Yep, just found him, he's dead

 

[@marko@]

really sorry about all your losses. that sucks man.
good luck with the treatment and the eventual rescape.

 

[Sobo's Reef]

Thanks, things are looking up tho! My yellow tang is eating and all of his white specks have turned black!!! that's one upside. My trigger is still speckled but also still eating like a champ.

Not too bad as far as results eh.. I think they should drop off in the next 2 days or so. Maybe faster. Once they start turning black usually means they got poisoned and died lol.

I hope so! Both of my wrasses and gobies seem completely non affected by ICH. Weird.

Don't these fish have a protective coating (film)?

No idea but if they do that's pretty cool lol

Don't these fish have a protective coating (film)?

Yes, it's the slim coat that is protecting these fish over the others. It is my understanding that stress impacts slim coat....some fish more then others.

Oh, you figure with me being into this stuff for a few years I'd know that, nope, learn something new everyday

That's the best part of the hobby.

 

[Sobo's Reef]

Lol sometimes

 

[Sobo's Reef]

So now that all the corals are out, what does everyone think I should do scape wise? I was thinking less is more? Maybe do an open center and have 2 mountains by the overflows? Or maybe one big mountain and one little mountain? What does everyone think??

Is 4 tangs in a 150 too much?

What tangs are we talking about. One Sailfin is too much for a 150.
