Hi all, I'm posting this for a friend
Hi,
I've got a disease in my Marine Tank (35G). It's setup at my place of work. It has been running fine for 4 months or so. Initially with 2 Damsels, since then I have added an Angel, Coral Beauty, Clown and Hawke. (some basic coral as well)
The tank has a protein skimmer and uses a deep coral base for filtration with ~20lbs of live rock (no trickle or other). All parameters are fine.
I went on holidays for a couple of weeks and had other people looking after the tank. When I came back, the Angel was missing (dead) and the Coral Beauty had what looked like white spot - It died the next day.
I've started medication with Myxazin. Sine then one of the damsels has died. Now the clown and the remaining damsel are'nt looking so good. Their fins are slightly cloudy - I'm not sure it's white spot, looks more like a dusting of film over their body. The clown is swimming in the outlet of the power head all the time (maybe he is trying to get the water jet to blow whatever it is off).
Any advice would be appreciated. I've kept marines for 4 years and never had problems like this - not responding to medication. And I'm not sure I know what I'm treating yet !
Thanks
Pedro
