Kremenchug Crypt at fish HELP!

Eric8832

Dear marine aquarium enthusiasts, I really need help... I have a 500 + 150 sump setup, all equipment is working, and tests are normal, but here's the problem: a couple of days ago the water became cloudy, and it turned out that the cause was caulerpa, which has already been removed. However, after that, I discovered a crypt in the hepatitus, and today it has already affected the clownfish, zebrasoma, argus, and swallowtail, while the others are holding on for now. A week ago, I bought a clownfish and a zebra from Lviv, and the clownfish had 4 spots, but they started to disappear, and now this new issue has arisen. I did a 10% water change yesterday, and although the sterilizer is weak at 11 watts through a 2-ton pump, it works constantly. I dimmed the light and am not interfering with the aquarium. The fish are eating garlic Artemia. WHAT SHOULD I DO? PLEASE GIVE ADVICE!!!!

If the fish are eating well and everything in the aquarium is normal, I wouldn't do anything... it's just stress for the fish and a weakened immune system... it should all pass on its own. You should also get a cleaner shrimp and more different types of Euphylia, as they seem to clean the water from this infection...

Thank you for the advice.

I read on the Moscow forum about treating with UV-C and an ozonator. They say the UV should be at least 36 watts, and the power of the UV depends not on the volume of the aquarium, but on the length of the lamp; the longer, the better. UV and ozonator supposedly increase the chances of recovery significantly. There was a lecture in Kharkiv about marine life, and a representative from Anzhechka was there. I brought up this topic, and the use of ozone was confirmed, although without any controllers. Of course, it needs to be done carefully, calculating the dose and monitoring the aquatic organisms. Regarding UV, long ozonators are praised because the longer the water passes by the lamp, the better.
