This is so helpful!!!! It’s so heartbreaking to lose these animals that we have taken from their natural environment so anything that we can do to ensure their health is 🎉
yes. and so much more info coming like other bag opening tricks not to get oxygen in. and making sure prime is only used with copper power not cupramine etc. when to switch to formalin etc.
Excellent information. We as stewards need to be more rigorous in our preparation and treatment of our fish as opposed to impulse buying and tossing them in. Videos like this help break down the knowledge barriers to doing just that. Thanks from Rhode Island
Andrew, in future videos can you include a picture of said disease, bacteria, parasite, or injury that is being specified to help in the identification of said illness? Otherwise this video was full of information!
yes. as soon as i start talking about specific diseases and treatments. in third video i think. still some more basics before. i could do full video on bag opening techniques not to get oxygen in !!
Greate video and greate sound. Very informative. QT is very important, but i live in Europe, so meds are difficult to get. Looking forward to the next episode.
Very informative but always wondered if there was a disease and fish either passed qt or died what happens to the beneficial bacteria bag after treatment? Do you let it run in tank for weeks fwlr or place it back into the sump? Never found a clear answer on this.
Can you please help me understand which medications available on the market I should as indicated in the flow chart? Looking to do proactive qt for my first fish a neon goby. Thank you!!! ❤

Great info as always. Love the videos! When you mention prime the bag, I have always thought about this BUT I was under the impression that some sellers ship with copper in the bag which prime & copper mixed are toxic at certain levels. Is that true or false ?
its one of these things that i forgot in first video. we were thinking of pulling dn and talking about bag opening tricks so prime is not needed and anything but copper power risk. !
complicated question. Huge Uv 4000 W allows me to manage also !! Depends on disease or meds. ! You can Prazi a reef and use certain antibiotics but no great answer to ick and velvet other than hydrogen peroxide manage water column and peroxide salts or feeding meds to fish some help some dont and cranking up ozone and changing uv bulbs. Obviously copper and chloroquine will kill coral. !
Thanks so much for your reply Andrew. So if you were to add these medications to a new reef set up that hasn't had corals added yet, would the long term residuals of those medications stick around and harm future coral input? Also, if you were to remove all the fish to a quarantine for a month, would the disease stick around in the tank system and just reinfest the fish with disease when they are returned to the tank?@@PoloReef
@@zachhoetzel5034yes you can remove the fish and treat in a separate tank. The display will need to remain fish free, entirely so, for at least six weeks for ich. I think velvet is the same. Uronema won’t go away
You’ve made me a better reefkeeper for sure! Thank you
This is the only RUclips Video that i dont dare tap 5s skip button!

i love fishies !!!!!
I literally said in my head, oh no do the fish have covid?!😂
worse. sometimes
If these diseases get into your display tank, can you medicate the whole display without destroying the ecology of the tank? And how would we do that?
