Here is the Purple Tang with the spots. I know this belongs in a different group but wanted to see if all of this is related.

Here is the fish with the covered eyes.

What else can be used besides the strips that would give me a good reading. My tank is 48 x 18 x31. As far as food I give them flakes, vegy type flakes, shrimp, The Lawnmowere survived a tank change and had been going for about 5 months. The others not quite as long.

Now could someone tell me how to include photos?

Tank I can't give any numbers since all I have is the strips. What else could I use? A Naso Tang, a Lawnmower Bleny, Bird Rasse, and a Coral Beauty. I have two Tangs left and one is a Purple Tang that at the moment looks like he's covered like it's Ich. I had quarantined him about a month ago...

Here is my setup. I have a 110 gal XH FOWLR with about 100 lbs of LR. Could probably use more. I am using a wet/dry with no bio balls but LR rubble. My skimmer and heater are in the sump pulling out crud and maintaining temps. I have a decent pump moving lots of water. About 260 watts of light...

Same thing I'm noticing. Looks like grains of salt. It can be scraped off but it sure is stuck on the glass real tight. Since I have a 110 XH scraping with something other than a magnet is a real pain. What causes it, what is it, is there any way of getting rid of it other than scraping? :roll:

I had the tang for "quite a while". He was put in my display tank 3 days ago. Man, you have to be real careful on how you word things here.

This tang was the last item put in the display tank and it was 3 days ago. I have not had any parasite issues since this tank started.

I don't think I worded my statement correct. I had the tang for quite a while. What I meant was that it was fine and then in a matter of a couple of hours he was covered with the spots.

I have a purple tang that we just noticed within a few hours looked like it had ich. Looked like a salt shaker had attacked it. I pulled it out of my main tank and into QT. This was at about 11pm. The next morning no sign of ich, no spots, nothing. Can it disappear that quickly or could my...

I am getting real small brown spots on my glass in my 55 gal. They are very hard to scrap off with a brush unlike a green algae. Is this an algae or some other mystery stuff.

But is lighting that critical with FOWLR only?

My 55 is only about 3 months old. The substrate is strictly live sand, my filtration is a wet/dry with a canister filter. My LR comes in at about 60lbs. I have about 3 damsels, two tangs, a dragon goby, a lawnmower blenny, maybe 3 other fish can't even remember what they are,, duh. Some crabs, a...

Started with a 55 gal saltwater tank. It looks pretty good. I just purchased a 110 gal XH for a freshwater. I decided fresh just doesn't get it for me in the 110 so I want to swap. Any tips and tricks to doing this? The 110 is going where the 55 was so I need to do some major emptying of both...
