Is this in the 625g in your sig?

Nitrates are nice and low, so provided your test kit is reading accurate, you're changing enough water weekly.

Weird one.

Any signs of LLE?
i’ll have to look up LLE - i’m unfamiliar

it’s more of a contiguous patch vs isolated holes

2 separate tanks

big tank nitrates peak at 10ppm or so - constant w/c - drip going over 100g a day

What is the TDS?
good question - no meter to measure -

the fact it’s the same thing affecting two separate fish in two separate water systems some sort of pathogen / virus / external disease?

i did use the water from the big tank to fill the 40g the lil intermedia was QT in
