Morning guys. Im stressing out here! Picked up a pair of really nice black ice clowns the on monday afternoon. Brought them home, temp acclimated the bag for 30 minutes, then put them in my bucket that i use to drip acclimate. Yesterday i noticed a few white tiny spots on the bigger one of the pair, no biggie then this morning before i came into work i turned on my LED's to feed and I noticed the white one looks like a teenagers face filled with white heads, the poor guy is covered in tiny white spots now i noticed the small one has some as well :0( theres not much i can do the next 24hrs because I'm a firefighter and I'm on duty today only thing i can do since i leave close by i asked my captain if i could swing by later really quick and I'm gonna attempt to fish them out and place them in my make shift Qt tank (Bucket, heater, and powerhead) i have some salt water i purchased that I'm gonna use instead of the water from my actual tank.
All my other fish i have are ick free well at least they don't show any signs of Ick although I've read on here it could be in the water column fish include Yellow tang, Naso Tang, Pair of Lyretail Anthias, Mandarin goby, pair of fire fish, and one cleaner wrasse. All have been in there 3+ months never had an Ick out break. Im freaking out here first big $$ investment. Chad said they might be stressed which I'm hoping for. My water parameters as off last night
Salinity 1.024, ALK 7.3 dKH, Calcium 420, pH8.3, Ammonia 0, Nitrate 20 Ive been having issue with Phosphates now down .16
Crap I just hope they make it till tomorrow.
Any suggestions will help or just tell me they are gonna be ok :0[ :dontknow:
