Treating sick fish?

[akarusso]

If you have a fowlr tank, if the afish gets sick can you treat the tank with copper?

 

[Killerdrgn]

only if you don't have and ever plan to have corals and inverts.

 

[Aquatic Life Direct]

I would treat it in a QT tank. I heard of people treating the entire tank with copper but I wouldnt do it.

 

[akarusso]

If you have snails crabs and star fish can you use copper?

 

[Aquatic Life Direct]

copper is not invert safe

If you have snails crabs and star fish can you use copper?

No you cannot. It will kill them.

 

[akarusso]

So basicaly no copper in the tank.
Also another question
If I have fowlr will 60 ponunds of live rock in a 90 gallon tank be enough?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Should be ok depending on your tank parameters.

Never ever ever ever ever ever medicate the display tank.

 

[akarusso]

I currently have a outer orbit twin 150 watt mh.
I think its to much for fowlr.
What would you guys say is godd for fowlr.
90 gallon tank 48 Inches

You could downgrade the lights to PC's or T5's.

What do you think is wrong with the fish?

 

[akarusso]

There is nothing wrong with the fish.
I dont want corals so the light i have is over kill

 

[akarusso]

nothing is wrong with the fish
I am asking because I want to get rid of coral and only have fish

Use Coral Vital by Mark Wiess dose 4 tea per 100 gallons a day for 10 days.
Don't ask me whats in it, don't ask me why it works? But it works! :wow:
I have seen it work too many times not to believe it. Its also a coral energiser so it works great in reef tanks. Good Luck!
