Hi..was wondering if anyone can help in this question. I bought a coral beauty 3 weeks ago, put him the QT and 2 days later he came up with 2 relatively small spots. They are no bigger than grains of salt. One on the dorsal fin and one on the caudal fin. Neither have them have grown. I was...

I have a newly acquired coral beauty in a QT and it looks like she has ich. I've read they are copper sensitive. Is there any truth to that? I've never had any luck with hyposalinity. What treatment methods has anyone used with any degree of success?

I didn't have much luck with hypo in my last battle but I'm willing to try again. What's your opinion on adding a cleaner shrimp along with hypo in the QT?

I just bought a copperband butterflyfish and a pink and blue goby. They were both in the same tank at the LFS and ate like pigs, no signs of ich. I have them in a QT and now the butterflyfish looks like it has about 4 spots. I understand that these guys are sensitive to copper..is that true...

Great!...thanks! I'll check out that site.

I need some recommendations for setting up the PHs in my 55 gal in order to maximize water flow. I have 3, 2 of which have rotating deflectors, plus the return from the sump. It would be nice to be able to hide them behind the 70lbs of LR. Ultimately I'd like to install some sort of unit (tubes)...

Great info! You guys just saved me $35. I thought about getting a glass hood (for jumpers). I didn't know that affected pH. I'll try the egg crate. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Please don't misunderstand..I did not mean and would NEVER subject any animal to ANY cruelty! I would never cycle a tank with any animals. My point was that clowns, of all vertebrates, will be the first sign of any problems with water conditions, even in an established tank.
