I did an 8 min. fresh water dip on both this afternoon. I emptied my 12G nano and I re-set it up for an easy QT tank. I matched the ph and right now I'm trying to get the temp. the same as the other tank. The directions on the Maracyn-Two say to add 2 tabs for every 20g on the first day. (I added 1 tab for the 12G nano) then I'm supposed to add 1 tab for every 20G for the 2nd through the 5th day. (1/2 tab for the nano). It also states that no water changes are needed. The only filteration on this nano is chaeto where the sponges used to be. Should I add a small HOB filter to it? I have one for a 10G tank but wont the charcoal filter out the meds too fast? I will try to get some of the praziquantel you mentioned. Where would I get it from? I'm going to the SH boards to look up other possible meds.

I'm going to treat the male as well since I haven't seen him eat yesterday or today either. Plus I noticed white patches on him. Looks like his skin is bleached in 2 spots. I think I read on another site that that is a bacterial infection.?. I'm never buying sea horses from a LFS again. ( I never meant to in the first place...they were a rescue) Only private breeders from now on.

I just want to say thank you for all of your help and advise. Your knowledge and patience is greatly appreciated.
