A sailfin discussion
Re: A sailfin discussion
not all my fish will fit in my QT, its only 3ft by 2ft, so what should i do, i was thinking if i took my coflakes out, i could go to my lfs and get an ehime 2ft set up, then take my tank water and put it in that tank, my coflakes wont have alot of room tho.

ok got a 3ft tank out of bluzoo, all my tangs have blood shot eyes, any ideas what to do, got like 8 tangs in my aquarium, bluzoo said to do a water change and add stress coat
Re: A sailfin discussion
Water change will help with water quality, wont fix the issue though and wont do much to help the problem at hand. Stress coat is just a dechlorinator with some aloe vera to help the slime coat on your fish, but that's about it, wont cure the problem with your tangs.

ive been keepin marine fish for ages now and it seems to be affectin my tangs but nothin else. i tested me water and took it to me lfs and compared it to me test. was told to add a polyfilter coz of the pollution from me room bein done up. also told to take out half me tanks water and put all me fish back in me main tank and the corals and fill it up with ro water and put the tangs in the qt and get another type of tang and put it in me display tank and make sure it dont get a blood shot eye. and change me filter pads.

Ease up on the caps lock, mate. No one likes to be screamed at.
You've been keeping marine fish for years, so I'm surprised you'd take that advice from the LFS. It's obvious they're in it for the cash. They're telling you to buy more fish, even when your main tank is infected. Doesn't make sense, does it?
If you want that water change to do anything, you'd need to replace 100% of the water, swap out the rock and sand, and probably sterilize the tank before adding the fish back in. And I mean, no old water at all. Otherwise, it's just a band-aid for the water conditions, not the infection itself.
That polyfilter might be a good idea, though. Could help with the chemical contamination when you're cleaning up your house.
