This is the 3rd time the tank has had ich. I am so sick of it. the fish were out of the main for 7 and a half weeks they were put in QT and treated with cupermine and were ich free living in the qt for at least a month we finally put the fish back in the main and now with in 3 days I see 3...

I have had some christmas tree worms for at least 8 months now and recently i have noticed them not coming out as much. i have 3 different rocks with them. the blue ones still come out quite a bit but the red ones and the multicolored ones aren't coming out. does any one know anything about...

So we went to the LFS today just to buy some food and they had a new half circle tank that they had set up like 2 weeks ago stocked with fish finally. I went over to look at the fish and a bunch of them had ich. There is also coral in the tank so I thought I would ask if they were treating them...

so i tried the formula 2 and fresh calurpa yesterday and he didn't seem to thrilled but i did see him take a few bites of the calurpa and when i came back in the afternoon the cube of formula 2 and all the calurpa was gone so i would assume he ate it. i put some more green in today and i think...

yeah i have a ton of pods and maybe mysis shrimp they are all over my rocks and in my refuge. i even have pods growing on my back wall of my tank that i don't clean the algae off of. No one has commented on if i can have both the angles or which of the 3 - basslet, neon dotty back, or the blue...

I have 150 gal tank, 250lbs of LR right now,3-4 inch of sand on the bottom. It has been up and running for 6 months in the 150 and about 100lb of the rock started in a 45 gallon about 5 months b4 that and the fish i have right now are: 1 alantic blue tang 2 mated O. Clowns 3 gobys- yellow...

So I bought the Atlantic blue tang he is very healthy looking and really small so it will be fun to watch him grow up. I have had him for 3 days in QT now and have offered him algae every day on a clip and so far I haven’t seen him eat any of it. I have also have fed him live brine, frozen...

Yeah my tangs were all really really healthy till the ICH problem and then we moved them in to QT and started HYPO and 4 days later they were all dead. i feed them nori every day almost and i soaked it in garlic, zoe, and zoe con so i dunno. i think it was just a freak thing that happend.

I think i am going to go for him. he looks really healthy. he is about 2 in so he is small i have a 29 gal QT set up for him and after the QT he will be going into a 150 gal so i think he should be ok. Thanks for the advice

I have heard of lateral line erosion but i haven't ever heard of marine head erosion and while i was doing some reaseach this morning i found this artical http://64.233.187.104/search?q=cache:bHIWrH6eCBgJ:www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-06/sp/index.php+Acanthurus+coeruleus+ich&hl=en has anyone...

Acanthurus coeruleus is the scientific name

I was wondering if anyone had one of these tangs? and if anyone knows if they are more ich prone or not? i know that tangs like archilles and powder brown tangs are very ich prone because they are more velvet like then some of the other tangs. I guess any information or advice anyone has on...

so it looks like my cleaner shrimp is pregant :lol: :lol: :lol: . she has bright green eggs in her if i want them to hatch and become babys what do i need to do?

I would like to know what people think about any of these fish. I have 150 gallon tank with just live rock but i also have christmas tree worms, feather dusters,4 different types of shrimp(blood, 2 cleaner, 2 pistol, coral banded) and a bunch of different crabs from hermit to sally light foot...

so i have no idea what went wrong. yes the fish had ich for sure so after weighing the options we decided to do the hypo salinity. we started to see what i thought was the ich worsen at about 18ppt and when we got down to the 12ppt it looked like the fish were sunburned and there slime coat was...

My boyfriend says that it looks like there slime coat is comming off or something is flaking off them. It looks really bad. is this normal?

Ok so we are at 12ppt and have been there for going on 2days and the fish look horrible ... more horrible then i have ever seen how long is it going to take the hypo to get some of these spots off. I am almost wondering now if we should have gone with the cuperimine because the spot would most...

ok so we have been doing hypo for 2 days now and haven't droped the salinity down all the way yet but all the ich is gone. i know we have to drop it down and then keep it down for how long? everyone looks happy and healthy and are eating well. yeah the gobys eat prepared food we feed them...

So my fish have ICH which sucks but the only good that has come out of it is the fact that we had to take the 250lbs of liverock out to catch the fish and the pistol shrimp that i thought for sure had died cuz i now hadn't seen him in a week is FOUND he is alive and there actually is another...

I am worried about my gobys in a bare bottom tank and should i seperate them? i have a pink and blue spotted who is about 5-6 in big and a orange spotted that is only like 2-3 inch big i have pvc in the QT for them to hide in and i was thinking of putting 2 gobys 2 clowns and the strawberry...

Which would be better hyposalinty or cupermine? it isn't a bad case of ich u can really only see it on the tangs. i wish tangs weren't so susceptible to ich. anyone have any thoughts on easy ways to get these fish out. the goby's are such a pain!

yeah we added some new additions without QT which i know better. Can the clowns be treated with the cupramine ?

ok so my fish have developed ich. it is such a pain so we are currently pulling out the 250 lbs of live rock in my 150gallon tank to catch my 9 fish and put them in 2 QT tanks that have been up and running for 5 days to treat them. i have organi-cure which have used in the past and worked great...

about 3 months ago i put a orange spotted goby and a pistol shrimp pair in my tank the first couple days they hadn't found each other but then after that they were back to best friends making there home right in the front center of my tank (so COOL to watch). everyday till about 3 days ago they...
