Harq tusk laying on floor

sponge filter. All 4 of my other fish were fine in the QT, same location. Except for the marine beta, which only had a problem accepting food. But he is doing fine in the DP.
 
Bump up salinity to 1.023. 1.021 is a little low and sponge filter IMO not enough oxygen and chemical filtration.
 
It passed tonight, sad to see it go.:(
sorry to hear that mate.
Ive ran all my fowlr tanks at 1.022 all the time, it may be low for corals but not for fish, and a qt doesn't need any chemical filtration unless you are trying to remove medication, it should be a simple sponge filter, as long as there is surface agitation there will be enough oxygen. keep a couple of spare sponges in your main tank sump so they are ready for the qt anytime, once you have qt'd a fish, throw it away and use a fresh one from the sump and just keep that cycle going.
