Well my tank was doing great for a few months even though the wife and I rushed in a little fast on stocking livestock. All my parameters are still great, but we bought 3 Lyrtail Anthias last weekend at the big sale. Got them home, acclimated them, got them swimming, all was great. Two days later (Tuesday)one of them showed spots. We bumped the chiller up to 81deg, and kept feeding . Wednesday 3 of them had spots, bumped it up to 82deg and started dropping the salinity. By Friday the first one with spots was pale/cloudy. We decided they had to come out before the other fish were affected. The weakest never made it out of the tank. One of the two that did make it to the 10 gallon quarantine tank was dead by Saturday morning, the last one looked better. Saturday late we noticed our Blond Naso was slow, hanging out high in the tank at the overflow with a large white spot on the right side and white(?) from the gills. Got the tang out with no fight. Took him to the quarantine tank, and died in the bag before we got him acclimated. Monday, oh Monday, Happy Anniversary! Made it home from work to a bad heater in the sick tank. Still climbing at 86.4deg and the last sick fish belly up. The wife's personal favorite I might add. Now our Tomini Tang has spots, but is still eating. We are at the point now to where we have decided to remove all the fish to quarantine for 8 weeks. Please chime in, we need the input. The store we bought the fish from is not to blame, we are. We don't have a quarantine tank, and bought fish during a big sale. So we knew they were stressed. I'm not pointing blame, just want all the info on the table. I was using "Clout" in the quarantine tank. The fish we intend to quarantine are: 1 MS Clown, 1 Tomini Tang, 1 Orange spot Golby, 1 Lawnmower Blenny, 2 Firefish Golbys, and 1 Fox Face. I know they can't fit in my 10 gallon, I bought a 50 gallon Lobster tank to use as a quarantine setup. Need help with treatment. Thanks in advance, Matt & Amy
