My first crisis...

Also, what have you done differently ANYTHING in the last week?

John, UV is cleanued up & ready to go - I soaked it good with Muraitic acid & rinsed. Also have a MAG7 to drive it if you need one. This is a BIG UV - 80W, dual tube Rainbow Lifeguard. If it generates too much heat, you can easily cut it back to 40w by unplugging one of the ballasts

Just call when you are close!

Actually, if its an Ich type infection, a temperature of 85° to 86° has been known to aid in stopping its progress, colder water seems to promote spreading, Ive done this successfully in the past when I had FO systems and didnt quarentine. Just be carefull not to raise or drop the temp too fast. Just FYI

True Jim, however, his SPS corals would REALLY not like it.

I have no idea if this stuff actually works but it's worth a try in my opinion, seems to jut be specialized antibiotics. http://www.nosickfish.com/

Thats for sure, at least not for the length of time it would take to be effective, I was just kinda tossing that out there for general information.

Well, I will do my third water change tomorrow, charcoal is running, Phosban is running a few hours a day, the UV will be hooked up in the morning (Thanks a million, Steve). Can't remove missing fish because, well they are missing. Couldn't dip fish even if I wanted to. I come close to the tank with a net and "poof!" no more fish. Going to take Richard's advice and get a more stable temp. Just hope for the best.

Thanks to everybody. You are a great bunch of people!

John you have a lot of water volume (300g+) so this may be no concern, but that UV plus the MAG7 will generate a good bit of heat so watch out if you set a heater and run the UV 24x7 - the UV may be all you need for a heater overnight ;) I hope it helps, call if you have any questions on it, and good luck!
