Flame Angel with Pop Eye

[Markster]

I have a medium size Flame with one sided pop eye. He is in a 75 gallon Reef. I have dosed two nights with Melafix since I cannot catch him without tearing the reef down.

Any other ideas?

feed feed feed, lots of garlic and nori. what are your nitrates?

Try dosing with Epsom Salt or magnesium. If it's just a wound from fighting or scaping on a rock, this usually helps clear it up.

Is epson salt same as table salt? should I add to the entire tank and it was dose amount? It is only on one eye at this point. What is nori?

[Enigma13]

Epson Salt is not the same as table salt. You can find Epson Salt at the pharmacy or the pharmacy/first aid section of any store.

Nori is a seaweed that is a good source of nutrition for herbivorous fish.

Thanks. I wanted to make sure I remembered correctly these. What about dosing the entire tank with epson salt?

[Marlin]

Yes, you can dose the entire tank. You should check the level of Magnesium in your tank before dosing to ensure youy do not overdose.
