O.k. I will. Thank you. I don't think it is ich either.

Thank you started medication called melafix that someone suggested. His eye looks a little better but it has only been a day since I added the melafix.

I have two lionfish one of them has cloudy eyes and will not eat. If he has ich should I use Kordon ich attack treatment? I am not sure though if he has ich for sure or not, how can I tell?

oK its a type of algae that feeds of off silicone, nitrate and oxygen. In new tanks the silicone used to seal your tank releases tiny bits of silicone in to the water over time the tank will settle and mature and it will die off. I think it took about a month for it to go away in my tank. It got...

This has been my experiance. Some think useing damsels to cycle a tank is wrong. They are a hardy fish. Have used damsels to cycle three new tanks and not one has died or show'd sign's of major stress or illness.

To cycle my new tanks I use water conditioner and liquid bacteria, live sand and live rock and let it run for two to four days. Then add two damsels and wait til I see diatom before I even start testing water and adding chemicals. I try to keep it as natural as possible. I don't do water changes...

They must have hitched a ride on the live rock I bought. I dunno.
