Could be a tank mate. Careful though, may be the beginnings of fin rot (bacterial infection).

Not advisable to do Hypisalinity when inverts are present in the tank.

True, forgot Hypo.

Personally, I like a little bit of Scotch on the rocks with a side of water... Wrong forum. Whoops..

I agree - there is no "Reef Safe" methods. I can only share MY EXPERIENCES. Who said to just throw meds at the fish? Come on, really? Not a newbie here guys. Lol. Proven Ich Remedies: Copper or Going Fallow. My personal experiences: Metro+Focus - Garlic Enhancer, and if ich was a result of a...

A lot of times, Flukes (that are treated with Prazi) can lead to fish getting Ich by means of stress. Again - whatever work in your tank.

Turn the UV off is using Prazipro , applying Metro directly to the tank, Herbal ich remedies. Running uv during treatment may neutralize the effectiveness of the meds. Running the Skimmer will remove the meds from your water. As for water changes, I go 25% weekly for 3 - 4 weeks. It may be...

Befor you go nuts and cause a tank crash, there are some better methods. I have ich in the tank now (Hippo Tang). He's the only one showing signs but treating the whole tank is the only way of controlling it. Try Metro+Focus - Prazipro+Herbtana Micro lift. Turn off the UV and Skimmer. After a...

There's a few others... Brea's Tropical Fish - Brea. Mixed bag of Fish and Corals. Tong's Tropical Fish - Whittier ****I will say that it looks like they're liquidating out everything (Food, equipment, medicines, large tanks) Better get there for a deal soon. Everything is like 50-70% off...

Nasos, never have luck with them. Nice fish!

I have them both in my tank. They should be added at the same time to eliminate territorial issues.

In my 160, I have a bunch of Tangs. They all get along now but when dealing with an "Aggressive Fish", take him out for 20 minutes or so and then put him back in. It's kind of like hitting the reset button on the fish. Good luck!

You can try Metro+Focus if you think it may be ich or a bacterial infection. Selcon and vitamin C should be added to his food and fed to help supplement minerals/diet issues leading to HLLE.

Man, that is awesome! I've always used Abtesia X but it's a drag tring to reach in the tank, move rocks, etc. on my 160 Gal. Kinda reminds me of Superman using lasers from his eyes, lol. Nice.

Metro + Focus in a food cocktail has worked form me. I have a 180 gal. And trying to quarantine all the fish isn't an option. In a separate QT, I run a minimal amount of copper for new tank mates.
