Rosie dying...

[flubberina13]

Just came back and realised that she is throwing out all her 'intestines'...

fished her out and treating with lugol's dip...Does it help to treat anemones with the solution? Still got hope?

[roidan]

lugols dip is essentially iodine stuff...it may help a little..but i think you better monitor it these days before it really turns into goo and wrecks havoc on your system....

all the best jie..

[Terryz_]

Hope it will survive... Good Luck...

[jc85]

So sad to hear that. Maybe ur "tommy" is too big for it? Anyway, hope it recover soon.

[flubberina13]

And that clown refused to let me salvage it when I tried to move it out of the tank...

Sigh...guess...Tommy will have a sleepless night tonight...

[roidan]

maybe your rosie missed you too much when you wen to usa? hehe

anyway just curious jie...who look after your precious stuff while u were away

[babycat]

She threw out her 'intestines'...how does the 'intestines' look like ?

[roidan]

should be whitish strands....seen those in dying anemones in LFS before

[flubberina13]

A kind soul and my father. Plus my hamsters and rabbit too...

[flubberina13]

She threw out her 'intestines'...how does the 'intestines' look like ?

Whitish strands which my Mingie aka vlamingi tang readily devoured...now got to watch her for poisoning symptoms...sigh...

And opened her mouth so wide until it's almost 8cm apart...

Can only keep my fingers crossed...any concrete remedy to advise?

[Achilles Tang]

Looks like it's a goner.

You know, if you had managed to set up your new skimmer before you left.... there may have been some hope. I am sure your nitrates are high... anemones don't tolerate nitrates well.

Are you going to redo your tank properly now that you're back with your 6 foot dream tank?

[FuEl]

feel sad for you...it was actually the only type of anemone that I actually liked...

[jd_n]

Dun b sad abt it....its dyin but not dead yet. Juz hope for the best.

[flubberina13]

Are you going to redo your tank properly now that you're back with your 6 foot dream tank?

Yup...and the latest update is I will be gone for a few months next year so you tell me how?

Anyway, his posting now tentatively is 3 years here, three years there and maybe Australia also...so seems like I got to keep marine for only three years each time...

And the 8feet can only be a dream till time entails since we wun be selling house liao...

Watch out for adoption threads late next year and selling of parts...sigh...

[flubberina13]

Are you going to redo your tank properly now that you're back with your 6 foot dream tank?

Yup...stupid theory of me to do the IOS that way...got any idea how to change that glass panel? As it seems like I have to stick to the present tank...

[roidan]

change the glass compartment inside the tank? think very difficult to remove...unless that means slicing thru all the silicon....maybe jie can post a pic here for us to see?

[Cookiemunster]

Sorry to hear of the rosie sis.

I strongly recommend you redo your entire tank. Its cheaper to restart a new tank than to meddle with removing glass in the tank as its very very risky.

Its not really alot of money to restart a new 4ft tank with a proper planned sump considering you already invested so much in equipment.

But to add on to what AT said. I already told you that you really needed to upgrade the skimmer. Its the life saver of the tank. And better do it FAST....from what I heard from your 'kind soul' situations not good.

[bwilly]

anemone usually die due to the high nitrates.

did u test for the nitrates..?

[flubberina13]

I already told you that you really needed to upgrade the skimmer. Its the life saver of the tank. And better do it FAST....from what I heard from your 'kind soul' situations not good. 

I was actually thinking of changing to a new tank then to use the skimmer... guess it's too late...

Raymond...can give me tank maker's number?

Meanwhile...is there anyone who can help me 'tompang' some of my fishes?

And I dismantle my q tank and haven't set up my tank from Aquarama!!! Argh!!!

[flubberina13]

Thanks...you guys have been kind...

Now I got more choices to consider for the purchase of a new tank. Now is the consideration part...

Hope I dun commit the sin of procrastination...

[Razo]

Just came back and realised that she is throwing out all her 'intestines'...

Doesn't look good...sigh...

[Acanthurus pyroferus]
