its so hard

 

[MSB123]

He has some really nice fish- 5 mandarins, a pair of crosshatch triggers, a pair of maiami whites- i dont want them to die

 

[Humblefish]

he feels that because he is doing fish only, he should just throw meds into the tank

Copper absorption and biofilm makes treating even a FOWLR difficult: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/qt-and-biofilm.292878/

already told him- im trying so hard not to just let go

 

[MSB123]

He kept asking me why he had algae problems- i asked what his levels were- he thought Phosphates where PH and he had them at 8.1

 

[MSB123]

he is already here, dont know his user- he signed up 3 hrs ago He doesn't want to post, he thinks we are too crazy about it Im trying to convince him to

if he wants to treat the whole aquarium, I would rather use Ruby Rally/Reef treatment, it is copper safe. I have tried and it worked.

I'm afraid ya can't fix stupid. Sounds like it's just a matter of time before it all crashes. Too bad for the fish though. You are a good friend for trying to help. We all share your frustration.

I take it the FW dip was successful to reveal the flukes then?
