    My friend asked me to post this on his behalf so my tank info does not apply. He has a 55-gallon SW tank, ~25lbs LR, two small fish, one small anemone, 200-watt actinics, a small eheim mech.filter, and a new back-pack protein skimmer (to replace a smaller skimmer). His water is so cloudy you...

    Ich Spotting

    New to this Site, could use some helpful advice. Tank background: Started the tank 3.5-months ago. Over a month ago added LR while bordering fish at LFS for a week. Constantly check water parameters (ammonia-0, nitrite-0, nitrate~10, dKh~11). Use bio-ball wet/dry filter, protein skimmer, &...
