Probably brook.. Fast killer I hear.

Have pics? Fish disease section will have all the info and answers you need.

 

[kidkaos520]

crazy crime scene crabs and snail did a number on them

 

[BobthePhotoGuy]

Sounds like Brook....very fast yo wipe out tank.

Now....50% water change and then 20% a week for 3 weeks. This worked for me, you mileage may vary!

yikes......looks like my weekend is tied up

sorry to hear that man, just bad luck sometimes. Follow what these guys recommended for the restart and you should be good going forward.

 

[briankmarsh1980]

Well that sucks balls. Sorry to hear that. I would still let the tank go fishless for 2 months to be on The safe side.

You should talk to a professional about your options. Try Southwest Aquaculture or Club Reef.

 

[kidkaos520]

I'll see if I can get a hold of club reef

 

[kidkaos520]

Options I was presented was fallow for 8 weeks or use a uv steralizer

 

[m-six hundred]

Always take multiple opinions and then choose what works best for you. I guess I should of said make sure you talk to Jorell or Shane.

 

[kidkaos520]

Certainly not knocking Shane or Jorell -- they're both knowledgeable guys -- but these two guys are pros in their own right and have offered great advice:

You definitely have to figure out what the disease is first to treat properly. Brook is real common with Clowns but if your Tang and other fish were showing a lot of signs of stress or disease, it could easily be ich. With ich you can go hypo salinity or use copper (I am not a big fan of). With Brook you will want to dip.

I am a big fan of feeding (3 times per day) with both garlic and/or selcon when my fish are showing signs of ich to help them fight off the disease.

My advice is to come get a seeded sponge from me for your QT and start Cupermine ASAP. Yeah that goby has to come out.

Best of luck with the tank moving forward. Don't get too frustrated though as everyone in this hobby has "lost" (read, "killed") corals and fish or, if they haven't, they haven't been around the hobby very long.

You might also want to raise the tank temp. up to 80-81f to speed up the cycle of the disease.
All the best

Raising the temp has no effect on saltwater ich. 8 weeks is a long time to wait but better to be safe than sorry
