Hey All,
I feel I need to open up about this due to what happened, the way I felt, and what to do moving forward.
I was coming to month 10 of owning my e260. Everything was set to a week away, 50% water change, stocked up on frozen, and had instructed the pet sitter on how to feed them. It is firmly stuck in my mind now but didn't know too much about a couple of little spots of white on the puffers fin.
I came back to see the puffer half eaten in the sluice gate, and removed him as soon as I could. Over the next 2 weeks, I administered white spot treatment, and water changes, but watched £500 worth of fish die slowly. Now I'm a man with a big heart and was devastated, and with my one clown and cleaner shrimp left.
After trying once with a smaller clown to repair, He didn't last the weekend. I'm left with a disgruntled Clown, so then tried Chromis to see if the spores had left, and 6 weeks on no signs of white spot.
My tank is now full of macroalgae which are best described as algae with white sticky stalks on it. I pull it up, it breaks and rehomes. Is there a better way of removing this?
cheers
Nick
