Sloughing could appear at later stages, but brooklynella can kill faster

Gonna try and set up a qt while I wait

If u have a clean tank laying around I would tranfer some water do constant water changes and watch for ammonia

The only spare tank I have is currently running but I only have a blood fire shrimp in it, it would be a pain in the *** to run it as a qt cause it's a fluval edge 6g with a butthole opening on top

Clowns are hardy but brook is most likely the ****** causing the issues clowns seem to be like magnets to it but a good qt regiment should help

The guy I bought it from usually qt's all his fish but he said he doesn't like to leave clowns in copper for too long. Any thoughts on why?

Not quite sure on the full reason besides stress at higher levels of treatment but maybe someone else can elaborate.

Best course would be to go fallow for abit and hopefully maintain the qt tank

Nah eminent won't buy tank raised. I bought them from ocean marine sales. They were healthy so had to be something with my tank

I feel you. My tanks fallow right now too. Its been 5 weeks, I have another 5 weeks to go. After this long of a fallow period every fish is going through a QT. Much like you, corals are not my problem it's the **** fish!

All those white spots sounds like when I had velvet, specially the time line of death. A freshwater dip, followed by a Ruby Reef dip gave them temporary relief before going into QT. It allowed me to still bring copper levels up over a few days without them passing.


I set up my QT for "cheap". Amazon has the biowheel 350 for about 30 bucks, 40g breeder for $40 during Petco's dollar per gallon sale and a heater was all under $100 bucks. Keep a new biowheel filter in your sump at all times and you will be ready to go when need be.

Thanks for the tip! I actually picked up a 10g QT set up from someone on here, came with the tank, bio wheel and a heater for $20!
