Why is your temps so low? Turn on your heater. Your stressing your fish out

 

[JuanSalgado]

Where should it be at?

 

[pauliwalnuts]

Between 74 - 82 degrees, but preferably at 77 - 79.

 

[JuanSalgado]

Thank You

Between 74 - 82 degrees, but preferably at 77 - 79.

+1. I keep my temp between 79-81. Is this a reef setup or a fowlr? If you decide to treat then you will first need to identify if its ich and then decide on how to treat.

You going to kill your fish 66 degrees slowly put up the heater

 

[JuanSalgado]

Sorry guys I mean I keep it at 76 to 77 set on my chiller. Not 66 or 67

Did you have a power outrage or just kept the lights off. So room is cold and tank temp is mid 60. Temp should be stable anywhere around 76 to 82 . Now for the spots on the fish. The spots might go away on its own. If temp is in range and stable. But keep a very close eye on spots. If it gets worst. You need to either QT the fish and treat. Or might be better to treat the tank they in. If you have LR or LPS or SPS you can't treat them in that tank. So more information on what size and what kind of system you have. Could be stress or they got sick. When sandy came my tank went down around 68 and fish made it.

Ok, temp was never down.. Just found spots on fish when lights were off for 48 hours? See if spots fall off when lights are on for awhile. Could be just stress. Or fish are coming down with ICH. If Fish are eating that's a good sign. Right now I would just keep a close eye on it. Do you have. QT tank you can set up. What kind of set up you have. LR or fish only tank? Ect...

I have a 265 Gallon Aquarium so it is pretty much impossible to move the fish in a QT tank which is what I would prefer but it's not happen. I put the temperature up one point to 78 and thinking about pushing it up to 79 so it can fall in the range of 78 to 79 at most. But honestly I think I will keep it at 77 because I don't want it to drop too much. I purchased MICROBE-LIFT / Herbtana it's reef safe. Provides a chemical-free treatment effective against parasitic diseases including:
White Spot (Ich)
Costia
Flukes (gill & skin)
Trichodina
Chilodonella
Oodinium

Hope everything works out. How many fish have spots and what type of fish has it..

 

[JuanSalgado]

I Have 14 Fish. And They Still Eating. Sailfin Tang, Desjardini Tang, Blue Spine Unicorn Tang "MY FAVORITE", Pencil Surgeonfish, Mated Pair Ocellaris Clownfish, 2 x Yellow Tangs, Naso Tang, Hippo Tang, Bristletooth Tomini Tang, 2 x Black Axil Chromis, Kaudern's Cardinal Fish. But I spotted 3 fish with spots. I did a 60 gallon water change and drop the Salinity Level to 1.018. I hope to bring it to 1.020 and set my chiller temperature at 76 to 77.

Juan as long as they eating keep feeding them. Use some garlic on the food as well and keep water clean. I heard the stuff youre using is decent. Just do water changes, feed and keep clean water. I had an ich outbreak not to long ago and kept the water clean and kept feeding and didn't lose one fish. Just have to stay on top of the tank, the only thing is what it will continue to stay in the water whether fish show signs of it or not. Good luck, hope it works out.

 

[JuanSalgado]

Thanks Bro. I will keep it up. Thank You.

I do have a small QT if you need to quarantine a few fish I can hold them for you and treat them.
