leather corals are in the "soft coral" family and therefore does not have a calcium skeleton. So if they use calcium at all it would be trace elements only.

[Codyheitmiller]

Well crap. I just got 5 things of calcium and cant return them...

do you have a reef test kit? because if you don't have one you should not be dosing anything in your tank at all.

Always test your parameters of the tank before you add anything to it. You can overdose on almost everything which ends up with a tank crash.

[Codyheitmiller]

Yup. Sure do.

I have to be careful what I add right now though. My flame has ick and I had to take out carbon and turn off my skimmer

[thincat]

What other fish do you have in there?

[Codyheitmiller]

2 ritteri anemone, 2 fals percs, 1 flame angle, and 1 engineer goby

[Codyheitmiller]

i also got my mh lighting today.

[thincat]

Well, I hate to say this but you can't treat that angel in your tank and if you stress out the other fish they will also come down with ich.

[Codyheitmiller]

I thought clowns can't get ick? Also I use this stuff that's reef safe. The ick is gone and everything is back to normal,

[Magma]

ick and ich dont go away just like that, and if you treated it in the main tank you going to end up with a problem right away...

[Codyheitmiller]

Well I don't see anymore spots on it, and but i'll put it in my 10g just to be safe. even though i think it's to small for it and only been set up for a few weeks, it's my only option.

[Kurt_Nelson]

Here's a good read on ich...

Marine ICK - everything you need to know

The spots come and go - that's the nature of the parasite. And there is no such thing as a "reef safe" way to totally get rid of ich, hate to say.

[Codyheitmiller]

WOO HOOO! Thanks for everything guys everything is MUCH better and brighter, I also got a carpet, yellow tang, two emerald crabs, and 6 hermit craps today.
