I'm sure it depends on what's wrong with them. You would have to leave a question in the livestock threads, I'm not sure combining them is too good, especially on the weaker fish. You're better off concentrating on a specific illness.
They made a huge difference, i just got lugols solution should i dip my corals or just add two drops? i added two drops so far, should i do the dip for my xenias?
I'm not sure about how much Lugols to use in a dip, but don't add it to the tank - it's strong stuff and too much iodine in the tank can cause major problems. I'm not sure which corals will be negatively affected by it.
If you do a weekly water change you'll get the iodine you need. I have some Salifert iodine additive that I add rarely, and I have a test for iodine. Iodine is one of those things that too much of can cause problems. 2 drops in a 55 gallon is probably OK, but I doubt you'd need it every week.
"Overdosing Iodine can have serious consequences on your tank, as it is both a strong oxidant as well as bacteriocidal. In other words, if you add too much iodine, you can wipe out your tank. "
Ok cool thanks! I brought home an orange shoulder tang, but hes really sick, hes swimming into the wall the whole time, why does he do that, just faces the wall and stay there, like in a corner
it was doing that at the LFS but i get them for free when theyre sick, he's swimming around actively he was prolly just startled for a bit! I feed em shrimp that's hwy he wouldn't eat, hes an HERBIVORE! got him some spinach, im gonna throw some macroalgae in there too we'll see how he does!
OK well now i dont know if its copper or not? my xenias are dying. Some of them are turning like green and yellowish, i cant tell if my sps are doing ok or dying? all my invertebrates are fine though so i dont think it would be copper, im stumped
+1 ^ mine after a few months quite pulsing... they are a bit weird & after while they started growing everywhere & I could not kill them, even if I scraped to with a knife to the bare rock - non in my RSM 250... imo now... if they are dieing it's good news...
Alright so its a mystery! most likely not copper then? pheewwww what a relief, my starfish and crabs snails are all alive so it couldnt be that! i just hope my others dont die, we'll see
