Velvet moves quickly from what I hear, like by Wed all will be dead.

Would only recommend trying to medication treatment If you have like 4 figures spent on fish.

Medicating is a huge hassle and once the problem is so far along casualties are likely anyway, all you do is spend more money to elevate your own personal stress level.

I have a 57w aqua uv spare with new bulb I can lend you if you are near by and want to install today.

Whatever is killing the fish, need to zap the free floating l...
thanks. I have my 57w coming in Wednesday as well. right now my tang is eating and acting kind of normal (fingers crossed). let's see how this plays out. I don't have as much time to devote to doing everything right now, due to newborn, so it's a little tougher than usual.

hey guys. been out of loop lately. I appreciate all the advice and support. I have no time for anything with my newborn! now that I'm back to work, even less time. but I love every second I spend with him. as far as tank goes. amado lent me a 20g tank and uv, which I still haven't setup. however, clowns, gem tang, chromis, cleaner wrasse are all still alive and chilling. maybe I'll find some time this weekend and work on the tank. right now I'm scared to stress the fish out more by QTing them. let's see how it goes. here's a pic to brighten your day
