What are the water parameters in your Q tank? Sounds like the fish is suffering from fin burn from high ammonia levels. I would test the water and make a few big water changes so you can make a...

Pinched on a rock? Hard to say. Also, my guess is that it would be highly unlikely the hermit, snails or cowrie were responsible. If it doesn't look too severe I would just keep an eye on it and...

I've had my Pacific Regal for 2 years now. He's always been the boss of the tank, but may soon have to share this spot with a Hippo Tang and a Yellowtail Angel. The Hippo is 2.5 years old and was...

In a week mine will be a year old (in my system). No issues, eats everything - grazes substrates and stuff I feed everyone else. This consits mainly of ON Angel Formula, Formula II, Frozen Clams,...

No sure about the toxicity of copper to sharks, per se, but do know that the therapeutic margin (the difference between the effective dose and the toxic dose) is very slim - perhaps 2-3x. ...

Not sure why H2O2 would crash the pH?

Anyway, to answer your question, use the following formula:

C1V1 = C2V2

Where:
C1 = concentration of your H202. 10% = 100,000 mg/L
V1 = the volume...

Re: Ill Volitans Lionfish

Can you expand on what your mean by this?

Also, any chance you can post a picture and your water parameters (amm/nitrite/nitrate) - and other background information that might be helpful.

Very nice picture series! Looks like lymphocystis to me. Most likely brought on by stress from being moved. Not much you can do but wait it out.
