Does ich travel on equipment/ food? Thanks!
redsea said:Also, I wanted to ask about my rock. By the looks of it, it looks like there is aiptasia on it. Do you guys think that it is worth saving it? Granted I did move some of the rock (not sure if there is aiptasia on these pieces) to the 125g.
Yes! Just squirt it with boiling lemon water. That works like a charm and is cheap if you have lemon juice in the house

So you are sure it is ick now? I don't know if I would use copper in the tank even if you didn't go reef. It is possible to do hyposalinity in the dt but it's not usually recommended.I'm doing that now and it's working great. Do you have any pics of the affected fish?
redsea said:I am thinking of maybe making this big change tomorrow.
So to sum it all up, the 125g will be fish-only, and the 55g will be a really nice reef tank (probably no fish). That way if I get ich in the 125g, it will just be like a really large QT.
Does everything sound okay?
You would be better off getting a 75g tank then.

The only thing is I still don't have a refractometer , can I still start hypo without one/do hypo without one? If you recommend that I purchase a refractometer, which one would you recommend? I hope there is one on BRS since the group buy is still going on, thanks!
