    Sorry to see your CB in bad shape bud. I would do as inwall suggested or do the temp. hospital tank and treat. Best of luck to you and the fishy.

    If you were not going to go upon doing any of the recommended treatments to your fish then apprently your worst case scenerio is to wait till he dies and then flush away...
    but agian please take in to consideration and act upon by using medications that are reef/coral safe...

    i feed them, mysis, brine, cyclop-eeze and squid. Never tried soaking. I'll look to see if they have that. That would be nice.

    Thanks for the info!!

    Sorry to see him in that condition. :cry::cry: You went thru all the trouble setting up this beautiful cube, the least you can do is grab a bucket and treat this little guy. As long as he is still eating and swimming he deserves the best attention you can provide otherwise why are you keeping live animals. I apologize if this sounds abrupt but I care about my critters and would take every step to ensure their survival. I made that commitment when I started.

    Thanks for all the positive feed back.

    To the rest of you who want to get on my case, please stop now. I asked for help and that's it. Please stop making rude comments. I will do what I can and when I can which is none of your business how I go about this. I don't have a hospital tank and will not be making one anytime soon. I am working on an alternative way. Enough said so if you can not add any advice with what I'm working with then please do not comment. Thank you

    This is abrupt. Don't post unless you have a way to help.

    That was uncalled for and rude. Not once did he say he refused to do anything. You need to calm down and start giving useful advice to help a situation instead of berate someone. Attacking people gets nothing done except cause trouble...
