Thanks for the encouragement! I'll hang in there a couple more months. Just
added a 15w UV Sterilizer and things are looking a little better. I only
have my Yellow Tang left and he was looking really bleak last night. This
morning after a night of massage from the cleaner shrimp and the UV helping
to kill off free swimming parasites, he actually looks better. Fins up,
appetite strong. He's the only fish left. I would really love to see him
pull through!
Thanks everyone for the kind words and advice.
