Hello guys iv'e been a member for some time but this is one of my first posts in quite awhile, i'm having an issue with a number of parasites and infections. I have a 180 gallon flat back reef tank where I had a tomini tang, 2 convict blennys, a fox face, golden spot rabbit fish, hipo tang, naso tang, aero head crabs, misc cardnals pajama and bangai a few corris clows cromies sand sifters and stuff like that.
My tank has been very stable,
NO3= 5.0
NO2= .25
NH3= 0
PH= 8.0-8.2
PO4= .25
CA= 440
KH= 179
SG= 1.023-1.025
I added a ring tail tang which ate and showed no signs of sickness and since i have never had a quarantine tank added him into my tank. Well he showed some small signs of ich after a day or so, i lowered my salinity slightly 1.021 he was still eating like a horse and my other tangs were very healthy I didn't worry about it. Well I should have over the course of two days the ring tail was covered in ich the Naso tang got what looked like velvet, the Tomini tang and hippo tang broke out with ich bad. I hit the tank with kick ich and rally for 4 days. The sand sifter got pop eye and the convict blennys got a kinda bloat/ swim bladder issue, the ich ran its course and the Tomini tang cleared up but was pail along with the ring tail and the Naso tang they all seemed stressed an had labored breathing and I replaced 80% water and re treated with rally and kich ich.
Now at day 10 I have lost the Tomini he wouldn't eat one day and the next he was dead, the naso died along with the ring tail and the sand sifter goby, I have never seen one fish obliterate a tank like this and I have never seen one fish bring on ich, velvet pop eye and bladder issues at the same time. These fish were healthy fat happy fish. The hippo's eyes are cloudy this ich is clearing but I don't know if she will make it the convict blennys look like hell and still have bloating.
I will never add a fish without quarantining them first, it took me two years to add those fish and keep the bio load balanced. Have you guys ever seen a single fish do so much damage?
