just saw the http thanks

what s.g did you go to, over how long and what sort of results/ time??

has anyone here tried this. what does @ 1.009 do to your l/r? i have the capacity to remove corals and try this if i want to.

thursday was day 10 of salifert sp so the 4th dose. fish vary from looking good to really bad every 3-4 days. blue tang had real bad eye yesterday but this morning much improved. if stop parasite worked i would have expected reduction in no's of w/s with each cycle, that hasnt happened.if anything the amount is far greater. i am still dosing vodka so may stop (vodka) , water params all mint. my question to people who ''let it run its course'' by itself, would be, does it get worse before it gets better and how long??

most fish sellers have platinum cards and they work better than the plain ole plastic ones 8)

has reef bought the west auckland mermaid bar franchise???

just found these quotes, btw this guys an expert

the same as this reallyhttp://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/carbonate-hardness-vp128743.html#128743

yup double dosage

day 6 after 1st noticing w/s.day 4 of salifert treatment so 2nd dose just put in the tank. all white spots now gone off all fish and residual scars visible where they were. feels good to see that but im aware they are just swimming around and dividing, getting ready for a new invasion. quite a varied response out there about Saliferts w/s treatment.......... 8)....... hmmm........mr purple is tipping over less and less so he is hopefully sobering up.(im still dosing vodka) reducing vodka dosage back to the point of no cloudiness but i wish i had as much hair its still holding on

nice one. btw i have a purple tang that i might frag shortly...

at this stage instinct tells me to leave as is and continue with Stop Parasite, as this is the least stressfull course for the fish. w/s seems a little better but obviously the tomites are prob just in their free swimming stage now. mr purple seems pretty tippy as per my other thread but we'll see :-? i keep a diary of events and tests so the likely cause will become apparent...well, the likely guess. bit like trying to put smoke in a box

that whole buy was the score of the year........so far....... 8)

my purple tang, who is battling w/s at the mo, has developed a strong tendency to lie over on his side. this only happens when hes slow or stopped and he will tip over to his left (always the same side) no noticeable swelling or other obvious things i can see. this afternoon his w/s seems a bit better and hes eating really well.........any hints or experience appreciated thanks...

what does a colormeter measure? :oops:

you must be real happy and almost kicking yourself for not doing it sooner . the before now looks like a good twilight shot.

very nice, now i know my crap pics are me not the sony w5 i was blaming. how many blues are there in the t5s?

i decided to start the treatment 'Stop Parasite' by Salifert. any feed back on others use of this product would be good all fish in tank now have w/s to some degree, purple tang being worst and clowns almost untouched (visibly anyway) lost 2 x cleaner shrimp in last 3 days, 1 before treatment start and 1 after. unsure why. all my tests are mint so far but have now taken out carbon and PO4 remover as per Salifert instructions. fish are eating real well so hope their appetite stays up.

could be a lot abalone 8)

yup, anyone who tells you size doesnt matter probably has a small one. my choice would be Deltec 1st for the size they spec and then go as much larger in their range as you are prepared to spend. some Facts ive noticed in this hobby...1. you will upgrade 2. you will want to swap your ''other brand'' for a Deltec, never the other way around

http://www.fishvet.com/6.html anyone had any experience of this product or seen/knows of its availability??

looks like very fine salt on one of my tangs, about 6 spots. is w/s always present in the tank and then brought on by stress?? whats the treatment options and your experiences? thanks

:oops: DOH :oops: just read your post and spotted him

anyone lost a shrimp to their streams??
