    Thanks guys. Pretty rough right now. Just finished dipping the vlamingii tang and yellow tang. They seemed to handle it well so we will see if there is any improvement tomorrow. Now to set up the hospital tank. uploadfromtaptalk1403664069506.jpg

    I believe it came in on 3 anthias I bought. they didn't last long and then everyone else started looking bad quick. it's faster than anything I've ever seen. from perfect health to dead in 24 hrs.
    I've never quarantined before so I guess I have been playing russian rulette this whole time and it finally cought up to me.
    so far it's taken.....
    -yellow tang ( found this morning, even with dip last night)
    -blue tang
    -orange shoulder tang
    -Picasso clown fish
    -ora black clown fish
    -3 lyretail anthias

    here is a update pic of the new quarantine tank. its almost full this morning. Hopefully i can get the vlamingii tang, 5 chromis, and Falco hawkfish in here tonight. that's all that's left. uploadfromtaptalk1403699213242.jpg

    Brooklynella is a BI*%H.. It took down a Powder brown tang, arc eye Hawkfish(the culprit), and my two clowns I had for ever. I put my post up on the old forum, not sure it it's archived on here, but you can see how frustrated I was. I ran around to all my LFS, got my QT set up and started dosing. My fish bounced back in QT, but be CAREFUL not to leave them in there too long. I decided to leave mine in there an extra week and they all ended up dying on me. I'll see if I can find that thread to narrow down the time frame spent in Qt. I want to say three weeks and pull them out.

    Yeah its gunna be a rough road for the next few weeks for sure.
    Worst part is I've had the yellow tang and Picasso clown ever since my daughter was like 2, she's 7 now. She's heartbroken since she doesn't even remember not having these fish to look at.
    We had a little burial in the back yard for them. She wanted to do that :/

    CB surfrider, If you pull them out in three weeks did you put them back in display tank? Three weeks is nowhere long enough to go fallow in display tank. I went 60 days when I had brooklynella because others before me that had it told me that went 3 to 4 weeks ended up getting it right back. I had a sailfin tang and chromis in QT for the 60 days but what a pain trying to maintain good water quality during that time.
