White specks on a powder brown tang.

I think the chiller being broken is what caused the powder brown to get stressed. The temp is fluctuating a lot. It goes from about 80 degrees at the warmest time to about 78.5 degrees at the coldest.

 

temp flux of 2 degrees is not bad. My tang was only thing to have Ick I would only treat it for now.

 

Haven't seen any spots on him today. I think he is getting better so I am not going to try to transport him. I don't have a QT set up anyway. I know I need one, I am going to get one ASAP.

 

Remember one thing, water in the ocean does not remain at a constant temperature. That few degrees of fluctuation is not a problem at all.

 

I thought water in the tropical areas remained rather constant, fluctuating only a few degrees between summer and winter.

I also moved some rocks, but I noticed the specks about an hour after moving the rocks.

 

sun shade rain not as constant as you would like to think.

 

Well no spots at all today. Tang is still eating as much as ever.

 

I have a coral beauty that also appears to have these same white spots. it is still eating eagerly and wandering around during the day sucking algae off the glass. I am FO so I only have fake gravel, would I be able to get a cleaner shrimp and not have it die from lack of food? or should I just get the medications like greenex to deal with the ick? my damsels seem unaffected. thanks for the info, didnt want to make a new thread since this one already existed
