Odinium? i nedd help

[Marcelo echeverria]

Hello friends. I'm new to the forum and with one year of experience in reef.
By carelessness and not doing quarantine, I introduced a fish in the aquarium, which contagion of something that (I guess is odinium) since it has killed in two weeks to almost all my fish.
I have taken the fish that still live to a quarantine aquarium and my acaurio has been left alone with coral and the UV filter is working 24/7.

I have decided to wait 60 days to introduce a new fish. What other measure do I have to take as a precaution in the main aquarium?

Sorry you are dealing with this. Welcome to R2R!!!

I am pro QT. I QT all new additions prior to placing them in my DT. Here is what I do:

So your surviving fish will need treated with copper or CP in QT to eliminate the velvet.

Your DT just needs to sit fallow for 6 weeks to rid velvet, 76 days for all forms of ich.

My big doubt lies in the diagnosis. The fish that were saved today, are in hyposalinity of 1009, in a cuartentena acaurium and treated with Polyplab MEdic. They have been there for a week and they do not show signs of ich or velvet, but they do not want to feed themselves and they are agitated. I was suspicious that I was odinium but now I am in doubt.

Your diagnosis is probably correct.

The polyplab medic may help control the symptoms some but it will not erradicate. That's why the fish are still struggling.

You need CP or copper.

I'm dealing with odinium. I have already lost the moory of my fish.
I have my fish that survived in QT for 14 years.
Cleanner wrasse
Yellow sebrazome
Goby firefish

I have treated them with hyposalinity to 1009 and with Medic de plyplab, but I have not seen them recover their appetite.

I am determined to use COOPER POWER. My QT has 13 gallons and I will add slow 9 ml, in doses up to a week.

My precoupacion is with respect to the amonnio that at the moment I do not have it dominated, and I wanted to know that they advise me

You will need to use copper to fully erradicate velvet.

Have you tried dosing a bacteria in a bottle product in order to establish your biofilter to combat your ammonia problem?

Yes I Used bacteria from briqwell. The ammonia level is almost 0.5 mg/l.

Yes I Used bacteria from briqwell. The ammonia level is almost 0.5 mg/l.

Great advice given above.

Is it only the three fish listed above in QT or are there more?

As far as ammonia, I would have fresh saltwater to temp ready to go for a WC to bring ammonia down (at any given time).

Remove uneaten food religiously within 15 min of feeding.

Add some type of media for bacteria to populate. I used some small amount of rock rubble. Test copper often as some substrates can absorb copper and drop it below therapeutic. I have not just this issue with the small amount I use though.

 

[Marcelo echeverria]

In effect, only those three fish have survived, but I only see feed the cleanner.

I have functioning as filtration, an 800l / h filter canister with sera siporax, two pieces of rock brought from the main tank and a piece of BRIQWELL media filter extracted from the main sump.

Additionally, I have a nano skimmer from sera

My idea is to attach in 6 days, about 9ml of Cooper power

 

[Marcelo echeverria]

I still have the doubt, how long I should continue the treatment once the
2 ppm. i will put the density of the Cooper Power at this level
