I do the same thing at night I turn 1 of my Koralias off, so the fishes can rest for 8 hours, then the next day it turns automatically. I have 2 Koralias 550 and the flow from my filter that is 350.

Thanks folks for your feedback, I will do it. The QT was already set up, it was just that I never have to use it, until this thing happen.

Mine it was clear ich, I tried to put some medication (that don't kill my inverts), all my 6 fishes gone in a week, it was my last add the coral beauty. I am going to travel in 2 weeks I will think about and then when I will return I think I will restart everything from scratch.......will see.

Carey, I just have the same problem as you with the ich, I will like to know if you left all your rocks and sand like that or did you empty your tank and restart again? Sorry to bother you but I am at the same point right now, thanks in advance.

I just have ich from my coral beauty, I don't know if was the stress or what but it pollute all my other fishes in less than a week, the only one's that they still alive are the inverts......is sad but another thing to learn.

It is 3 months for now, no change of water, readings 0...... 5 fishes for now, I will add a coral beauty at the end of this month... No skimmer also.

If you have ich, you can left the aquarium like that but you will need to change the salinity, you can add melafix (API) - this is the most natural antibacterial, just to confirm that is safe with corals and also inverts, normally it will take from 4 - 6 weeks. I will say that for now you will...

Hi Carey, I read all your comments and also all the history, is hearth breaking, but also you will consider that as a good experience, if the problem doesn't kill you, you will become more powerful. Regarding the QT or not QT, by my knowledge and also the experience that I have before, it is...

Is a 33 gallons SWFOWLR.......for now I have 5 fishes (2 clowns, 1 goby and 2 cardinals) + 1 brittle star + 1 cleaner shrimp + 2 hermits + 3 snails...... I will post a new more recent photo soon.....I have changed my phone (from Iphone to Sony Android) so it will take some time to be back.

Is a fish only, yes I know, but I am doing a test (Hiatt Filtration System) and for now all is fine. I have my skimmer beside, just in case. Last week I have added another 2 fishes (cardinal bengalli) without any issues.

I have almost 40 lbs of live rock, the canister is only to catch the debris, I know and also I have my maintenance every month, I have a lot of discipline. No skimmer for now, no refugium, no algae problem......
