You need to go back to @Jay Hemdal ’s post at 522am on 1/30 as he told you what product to use. Coppersafe at 2.25 ppm.

My friend, I hope :) I feel like your comment is because of some of my earlier posts.

I am hear to tell you again, please! If you have some great insight here please let the OP and ME and all of us know! We are here!

And last night, I recognized you as an experienced reefer who gives out great advice, and I've said so in this thread :)

I'd still suggest that the OP waits for the Fish Medic staff, in fact even I technically shouldn't be replying - we are both just speaking over when the R2R vetted experts speak.

That's all, friend :)
You are one of 3 that told me to not help, basically that I was uneducated in saving the hundred of fish I’ve saved in 30 years almost.
I think it’s ridiculous that I’m allowed to give people any type of advice that consent on coral but oh no!, I can’t speak about fish?
Make it make sense please
I was attacked on missed and I realize I might not know everything but dang!!! I do know some basics and I feel like fish medics are overly cautious!!
And it’s lame!
Let the op decide who it takes info from!!
For real!!
This was a couple of hours ago in my little itgy bitty tiny yellow drop top bikini

Friend, I hope!

I cannot speak for the site or others in general, but I am here now telling you that I think you have a lot of knowledge, you seem to share great advise, and I would welcome you to share more towards the OP's problem :)

I hope you can see that I'm trying to be nice and friendly, but genuinely concerned for the OP where I am able :) If you cannot see that, I hope everyone else does :)

I am so, so happy to talk to you in a very friendly manor, you can feel free to PM me, but now all we are doing is speaking over the OP's concerns, and I can't do that.

I welcome you to PM me for general talk, but I'll leave @Stat32luis concerns to the *vetted* R2R pros, just so I do not confuse that reefer (EDIT:Further!):)

I purchased microbe-lift Artemiss Natutal Expellant for bacterial diseases & Microbe-Lift Herbtana Natural expellant for parasitic diseases

Those are both "herbal tonics" and not true medications. They really won't work for acute infections.

Update even after dosing copper safe my little guy did not make it.

I still have the clownfish that has been in quarantine since November 26th should I keep him in there some additional time since he exposed or is it safe to move him to display tank?

Has this clownfish been treated with anything? If not, you should keep it isolated for a minimum of 45 days (60 is better) to help ensure it doesn't carry some disease issue back into your DT.

If it was treated with Coppersafe but has not displayed any behaviors of sickness, how long should I wait to place in display tank?
Was the DT the one where the infection started? If so, the clown should be held out for a minimum of 45 days at 81 degrees F or 60 days if the water is cooler.
