Hey men, tough time for you guys. But just wanted to say that your reef is one of my favourites. Love how natural it looks. Looking forward to seeing your future plans. Keep the videos coming!
Sorry about your fish losses. My Flame also passed around 8 years from what I think was natural causes. Spend as much time as you can with Benji. Having just lost a dog a couple of years ago, that is going to be tough. Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas.
Something seriously wrong, suggestive of bacterial infections, running a UV? Wondering also about tang aggression… fins looking really chewed up on your fish. Purple tang going postal?
I’m not running UV currently but it is definitely a thought. I’ve been watching the fish and I don’t see any aggression. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t get aggressive around night time
I have a large 800 gallon Fowler tank and ran into this same problem had to treat the aquarium for the bacterial infection. I also cherish my expensive two foot large fish so hard to see man hope everything gets better god bless!
at least two of them fishes eat from the sandbed, and ur sandbed is full of cyano. I think the toxin from the cyano is your main problem here. Torn fins isnt always aggression
Lost a Blue Throat trigger last week randomly I think from a bacterial infection. Hopefully things get better from here. The wrasse may have had internal parasites/worms looking at its stomach.
It might be a bacterial infection or a random parasite. I’ll never know. I did an aquabiomics EDNA test and it didn’t look like anything bad was in the tank. It’s hard to lose your fish. I’m sorry about your trigger.
Thanks man. I’m sorry for your loss. People don’t understand that in our hobby they aren’t fish. They are our pets with unique personalities that we grow attached to.
@@CrakencoralsI haven’t added any fish since then and only added one blasto coral from Danny Deez corals in the last 9 months after dipping it and inspecting it.

Thank you for the warm wishes. I’m sorry about your pets. We all go through it. But that doesn’t make it any less difficult. Merry Christmas!
Beautiful tank. Sorry about the recent downturn.
Man what tough and sad couple of days for you. Hope it turns around for you and yours, hoping 2025 brings health and blessings. Reef on.

I suggest you rebuild the tank clean the sand check the fish for parasites and set up corntin area
I did an aquabiomics test. Check out the videos of before and after bacteria dosing. And check out the EDNA test

Have you had any Zoes die? Maybe their toxicity is in the water. Because, those fish are around them constantly.
No zoas have died. I’m running carbon too so I’m not sure. I may switch out the carbon and see if that helps
This is so depressing 😢 At least our human babies are okay!!
It looks to be a bacteria infection as the fins are getting beat up like that
I just lost over 20 fish I think my tank had velvet all mines act the same way sorry to hear that bud

That mandarin 100% had bacterial fin rot.
Probably. What do you think caused it?
Do an ICP
is everyone else eating? I would try running carbon. Sometimes if a zoa gets supper pissed it can throw palitoxin into the water can kill some fish.
Aqua Biomics if you truely want to know.
I have done tests before. Check out my other videos. Everything seems fine.
@was the video from 9 months ago? If so that is a long time especially if you have been adding things like corals and inverts without qt.

definitely looks bacterial.
