[Fredrxn]

Sup guys...I been doseing bright well neo phos and nitrates it seems everytime I dose it...about a hour later.my fish start flashing rubing against rocks...has anyone ever heard of this happening..this last for about 3 hours and fish go back to normal?

Nope never heard of that sounds like flukes that sort of behaviour. Maybe try dosing at night when the fish are sleeping or into the sump instead of the main dt

Or even separating the dose into smaller amounts during the course of the day if your dosing high volumes. Still sounding like flukes to me prazi (us) or flukesolve if your in the uk

So 10ml is not much for that tank shouldn't be an issue.

No fish have white spots besides my blue tang and only has a couple

How can I tell if it is flukes and can I treat them in a reef tank

 

[DE FISH]

White spots would usually indicate ich or velvet as your fish aren’t displaying these symptoms I’d assume flukes did you qt your fish and treat for flukes before adding them to the dt ?

flukes on the onset would be flashing, rubbing, yawning ect prazi (us) or flukesolve (uk) will treat flukes but will send your skimmer nuts

Maybe the products got adulterated before you got them.
