well the styx that had white blotches are dying pretty quickly in the new tank. the few now have white creep and are almost totally gone.
I dipped them in two little fishies revive coral dip then in fresh salt I had mixed up for a water change and then right into the new tank. All the parameters in it are good. I have no idea what to think.
nope nothing in the solution or in the new salt dip. But I never looked for fine tiny ones. But once they start to turn I guess there is no stopping them.
i'd aim for a lower alk in my opinion, just don't lower it to fast if you do. I aim for 7 in my tank +- 0.5. i stn corals if i go much higher then 8, but every system is different.
