I had hoped I was wrong when I saw a spot on the fin of my new royal gramma. But another spot showed up today. Time to learn how to treat ich in my marine tank.
From what I have read, using heat won't work the same way it does in a fresh tank.
Copper won't work because I have inverts.
There is no way I am going to catch this fish. My rocks give her too many places to hide. I would have to decimate my tank to get her.
I have read where some people say to lower your salinity, and tonight I read where you are supposed to raise your salinity to battle ich.
She is still eating and acting normally with just a little flashing, but not much stress showing yet.
What do I do? I probably should have asked this question about 4 days ago when I saw the first spot, but one of the places said it might go away on its own. Now, with the other spot showing up, it is time to figure out something to do.
I am due for a water change tomorrow (Tuesday) so I could adjust salinity, or start to anyway.
Thanks for your help!
