Can someone help me!!!

[j'field]

Hi, can anyone kindly tell me wat to do? I have a 2 feet marine fish tank and the fishes inside got lots of white spots and they are spreading like wild fire. I have tried to lower the salt level by adding fresh water, i oso have try to change the water around 20% of it. But all that i do or tried, just can't seems to get rid of the white spots off my poor fishes. What should i do!

not much u can do now.

experience that before too.

use garlic soaked food to feed ur fish to booast their immune system. keep dosing all the way.

try to have optimun temperature and water conditions so as not to stress the fish further.

if u dun run a chiller. use a fan instead. it helps. trust me

or by the hard way. use copper treatment. but warning its not reef safe. it will kill ur invertebrates.

or catch ur all ur fishes out to another tank and do copper treatment.

there are also some medications that is so called "reef-safe" on the market.

one of them is waterlife, myxazin, personally used it before. no promblem for me as my invertebrates were alrite but only slight improvement made

good luck

Hi I had a similar problem when I First started too.

Heres what I did:

Got 2 Doctor shrimps (Skunk Variety)

Lowered my salinity to 1.023.

every other day I Peeled a cloave of garlic Crushed it with chopsticks mixed it

with distilled water (3ml) Strained the solution, mixed with food and dumped it in tank.

My 2 blue tangs loved the pieces of garlic that strayed in and the Spots were gone in about a week. never came back again.

I also used a buffer during this time as I feared the garlic may affect ph.

Opps forgot to mention. I had a 3 foot tank at the time and no chiller my temp was a constant 29 deg.

You can try marine max. It comes in two bottle solution works very well for me and i see results in a matter of days. Oh and it is also safe for corals and invertebrates. Hope that it will work for you.
