Are they still showing signs of anything on them?

Start raising SG no more than 0.003 SG per day, for 6 days till back to 1.026.

 

[Stephone]

no haven't shown any signs of ich or anything for a while.

 

[Stephone]

I've lost 2 today alone. I'm afraid they won't make it through the night.

 

[GHsaltie]

When did you first start losing fish?

 

[Stephone]

started 2 days ago... I did a water change thinking maybe its the ammonia level had risen and the badge and test didn't detect it.

 

[GHsaltie]

Man that's tough. All I can think at this point is to try raising the salinity as suggested to see if that's causing the problem. I really hope they make it through the night. Have you done a freshwater dip on any of the fish?

 

[GHsaltie]

Have you used any meds at all or just the hypo?

 

[Stephone]

I've tried on a midnight clown prior to posting. Lost her, got fed up, so I then came here begging for help.

 

[Flippers4pups]

Good on temp. Could be low O2 levels. Increase surface agitation or bubble production.

Did you dose anything in addition to the hypo? Just covering all bases. @GHsaltie you beat me to it!

We're here to help! Hang in there!

previously tried Cupramine the past 2 weeks. I've only done half dosages.

During hypo? How fast did you take them down in SG to hypo?

 

[Stephone]

Before attempting hypo... for the record, I'm blaming hypo for all of this.

It's okay, how fast did you take them down in SG to hypo?

 

[Stephone]

That was a about a 6-8 day process, each 2 day waterchange I would do 10 gallons fresh RO, 5 gallons salt

@Stephone I know it can get a bit overwhelming with so many questions being thrown at your way, but just try to answer anything and everything. Even the slightest clue can help us help you. I'm in the same boat as @Flippers4pups at this time, I suspect they aren't taking well to the hypo. Reason I asked about the freshwater dip is because I thought I saw some twitching in the video. I could have imagined it but I want to cover all the bases and that includes removing flukes as an option.

Okay, that's good. Have you dosed anything to raise PH? If so, what and how often?

Yep, just trying to help.

 

[GHsaltie]

When did you make the switch to larger tank/filtration and how did you go about it?

 

[Stephone]

I definitely appreciate any help given, I'm such a newbie between this forum and facebook groups I'm lost in this hobby. I'm definitely trying to give as best of a description I can.

As for as ph dosing I dose reef buffer early today it was 3 teaspoons.
