I was going to post before because I thought he was doing better. I came home from work and flame angel died and looked as if his eye poped out or someone ate it. Two days ago he has white spots all over and was pale in his mid section. He was breathing heavy and not eating at all. Did not want anything to do with the food. I was doing garlic I thought that was helping with his color pale. But not sure today he dies. And my hippo tang has very few white dots but my sailfin has lots of them my long tentacle anemone has white dots and his body is huge and his tentacles are small. Mandarin goby has few white spots yellow tang has no white spots but seems more sciddish than usual. Water tests ok except nitrates are high 80. I've been battling high nitrates And it sux and doesn't seem to be improving. It got hot here and that's realy when I noticed the spots the tank got over 82 for two days. While I was at work I came home and took the lid off but didn't help much. I was thinking maybe stressed out and lowered the immune system and it got too hot for them I don't know. I've read the stickys and just not sure what to think since corals have it too
. Any help I would be grateful. I have melafix marine just because it's safe for coral and I'm feeding with garlic and I don't think I'm over feeding for my high nitrates but I don't know. 15% water change weekly and I started to vaccume the bottom of my sump every time cause that's where the stuff likes to settle. Tank is almost 1 year. And I've had the Angel for half a year. Have added two more cleaner shrimp and that's about the time of seeing the spots. I make sure to watch what I buy for two weeks before addin to tank so I am carefull but I feel like a dummy now and all my effort was wasted. Thank you for reading
