Sad day today

[scuzy]

Going to start the process of taking down the tank and doing a reboot. Recently my fishes started to lose its fine. At first I didn't think much of it then my bandit died. My tangs skin looks like they are falling off the fish. I had treated the system multiple times with prazi for flukes. I don't know what it could be but a serious case of bacterial infections. So now I'm taking all the rocks out and bleaching them while I get the tank to only contain fishes to treat with Prazi, kanaplex, furan2, and nitrofuracin green power. Once the fishes heal I'll move them to a holding tank and eventually run the display with fresh water and a cup of bleach for a few weeks and then eventually restart the system.

I have never ran into an issue like this as it's not ich or velvet or anything I've seen. I'll post a picture of the tangs later when lights are on. I just want to get them healthy again

I am truly sorry to hear about your situation. Please remember to take care of you during this time.

Ugh. I hate to read threads like this. Best of luck and let us know if you need any help...

Any pics of the fish so we can take a look?

 

[ngoodermuth]

Could it maybe be brooklynella? That’s the first thing that comes to mind with “peeling skin”?

I agree, pictures might help get a good posistive ID and help narrow down the treatment needed

I’m sorry you are dealing with this...

You figure out what that was? It looks nasty.

 

[scuzy]

No i didnt but a lot of the fish lost its fins and tails.

We feel your pain.

Any chance you could run fallow and save the coral?

 

[scuzy]

Impossible to catch all the fish without rock removals. So a restart is a must.

What about a big water change so the fish will get stuck towards the bottom. A lot easier to catch that way.

What about a really big water change so the fish get stuck towards the bottom and easier to catch.

I have dose furan 2 and general cure together. Lets see if they can recover.
