Everyone doing great so far....accidently contaminated qt with dinos....so my testing has been on hold for the moment since I started bleach dosing on my dt. Did notice that my occeleris clown which I've had for about 2 years has something...thinking possibly brook.

Ok guys here's an update. Everyone is doing great. Everyone including the wrasse is a pig, I did a formalin dip on the clowns and have been treating the tank with metro. She bounced back very well. I did add Epsom salt for the swelling and her eyes are now back to normal.

Are you saying you don't like Vibrant? Or just not in a young tank. Because I've been thinking about trying it.
Im saying in a young tank
Where the biological filter isnt up to par yet to take the hit of all the algae die off. Thats what got me. Even though I had more than enough live rock/bacteria, it wasnt mature enough to handle an ammonia spike.
I havent personally tried it in an established tank, although my friend is trying it right now in his 3 yr old tank so we will see.

So tonight I came home to my tank being a foot and a half down on water. Floor soaked, wall soaked, outlet black....what next....my luck this year sucks. I concluded my skimmer overflowed amd it is connected to a jug which overflowed tool the water dropped enough to have the powerhead shot the water out of the tank on to the light....I'm just glad my house didn't burn down

I'm testing ammonia as we speak. My ammonia badge is in there so it will be a shock to find that is different
