Thanks Riaan. I have decided to move it to my sump as suggested and get rid of any trace of it in the MT.

Hi Zandy, excuse my ignorance, but what qualifies as herbivores? Any recommendations?

Hi Wesd, I don't have a refugium, if that's what you referring to. I have a 4 foot sump, into which I am now going to put the live rock on which these caulerpa are growing. Will it have the same effect?

Hi Parraman, I only have one fish left after an episode of Brooklynella - a striated Tang

Thanks guys - do I move the live rocks they are on into my sump or can they be moved separately?

Are they safe? I do plan to get some soft corals in the future.

Please help identifying this plant growing on my live rock. It has taken over the whole one corner in my tank.

I started the tank Dec 2012. I cycled the tank for 4 weeks before adding 2 damsels and ran for another 2 weeks. Then added live rock and 2 clowns, a boxfish, striated tang, flame angel and a powder blue. On 17 March 2013 I had an outbreak of ich that killed the powder blue, both damsels and the...

Not sure whether Isopod or Amphipod Hi Belindamotion, From the images on the links you sent, I can't be sure if it's an ISOPOD or and AMPHIPOD,a dn from the descriptions it could be bad or godd depending on which one it is. Attached is a clearer photo. I don't know if I'm correct but it...

Thanks Tobes, BTW what are they called and where di they come from?

Could you please help me identify the attached copepod. Woke up this morning and the aquarium glass was covered in them. No signs of them on my fish (Striated Tang, Box Fish, Flame Angel). Currently approximately 3 mm in length, two long tentacles and between 12 and 14 legs and...

Hi Fred, I have purchased a garlic supplement for exactly that reason - but as you say it has preventative rather than curative properties. Thankfully it does seem like things have settled down in my tank now. the three surviving fish seem to be okay.

Thanks for all type advice!

Hi Yuri, I am busy clearing out the copper before i start the myxazin. Do I drop the temp from the29 C back to 25? The remaining fish are still eating (striated tang, box and pygmy angel ) with angel being the only one still showing discoloration

Thanks for the advice. I did try fresh garlic and mixed it with brine shrimp but they tasted it and spat it out. I even tried putting it in the seagreens and they just stayed away from it. I don't know, maybe I put too much - one clove per two blocks of artemia

Yes i have a copper test kit. I bought 3 new fish from the same LPS. The two fish i had deposited had ICH and were being treated for it, so i bought these 3 instead. Thanks for the advice. I just hope i don't lose anymore

When u say stop Cupramine you probably saying use carbon to remove? I started the copper treatment by 20.ml the first day and another 20.ml after 48 hours as per instructions on the bottle to a 820l tank. It's been at the0.5 ppm for the last 2 weeks.

By the way, can I use it at the same time as Cupramine?

That's what i got reading up on brooklynella, but you obviously have practical experience, so will get the medication. Any suggestions of a LPS that stocks myxazin? I stay in Florida.

hyposalinity treatment for bacterial diseases Thanks for the advice. Have done some research and it looks like a hyposalinity QT is the quick answer. Will also try myxazin.
