I am having some issues with my main tank and ich. I am so freaked out that the ich will come back in my tank (going fallow for another 2 months) that I dont want to put fish in my tank! I am currently treating a foxface in a QT with copper. Had a puffer in there, he died. I do not want to...

My puffer has had spots on her fins for about a week. She is eating, not rubbing, sleeping in a cave during the day. I heard that ich spots fall off and then come back. Her spots never leave. Is it ich?

Well I wanted to try something before taking my fish out again, getting rid of them, and going fallow.... I am using nosickfish.com meds twice daily in my tank. I removed ALL of the media, and filter, from my canister filter. I want nothign in there that can possibly soak up my meds. Puffy...

I already went fallow for 4 weeks over a month ago and it didn't work. I want to try something else. maybe hypo in the main tank with all of the fish? Just remove the inverts and my LR that has the inverts on it. Leave that LR in a rubbermaid for 8 weeks to make sure the ich on it dies? wbs

But what do I do with my fish if I go fallow for 8 weeks? puffer, firefish, foxface.

I think you are right. What should I do??????? I am soaking her krill in garlic extreme, and using nosickfish ich drops twice daily. Is she doomed? EVEN if I set up a QT and she gets better..wouldnt she get the ich again if she is put back into the tank?

I have had my puffer for a week. She has been doing wonderful. Getting along with the other tank mate, a foxface. Eating twice a day, begging for food. Now today..BAM, white spots all over fins. These are not ich 'salt' spots, larger, more spread out spots. I do not have a QT because my...

I love tangs..but keep hearing they are ich magnets. I am going to add one fish, try to keep my hands out of the tank to reduce stress...more snails then for algae, give them garlic and vitamin C in their food...and TRY to prevent ich. I bought some ich med that is reef safe online from...

I LOVE the potter's angelfish! It says online that this is an expert only fish (marine biologists, zoo etc) I have heard that if it gets enough algae, it will do well.. true? My LR is covered in brown algae, will it eat this? Or should I settle on a coral beauty, also a gorgeous fish. I...

I have fiji rock and florida aquacultured rock in my tank. I like the fiji because it is very porus and some pieces have nice caves. I purchased one piece last week that has a lot of tube worms, small feather dusters, and some 'flea' like creatures. Some of the fiji has nothing but some...

Hi, I know about quarantine and lowering the salt and temp..BUT What if my WHOLE tank gets ich again? I already lost 6 fish and have no fish now for 8 weeks (except firefish) I cant QT all of my fish if the tank gets it or return all of the fish and do it again. What should I do if that...

Had an ich outbreak, no fish for 6 weeks..my firefish was my first fish and he is still in my tank... I am setting up a QT this week to introduce the new fish to. I know there should be no more ich but I want to make sure. Is there a medication that will not hurt inverts or LR just so i can...

Ive made my decision then..no puffers and no powder blue tangs! I CANNOT get ich again! Any tangs not that suseptable that you know of?

Well lets say I do my list, not the bf's..besides the eating of inverts (what inverts by the way?) will all of the fish get along? I heard that the 'reef safe' wrasse do not eat inverts?

Oh I know! He isn't allowed to put a trigger in there or a lion etc. CAN I have those fish on my list and will they get along together with inverts? (especially the puffer?) What order should I add the fish??

So my BF said if he could, he would get... Tang Trigger (not Niger) porcupine pufferfish Lionfish Wrasse We have a 80 gallon tank. I think my stock list should be... porcupine puffer #1 Wrasse (maybe fairy..suggestions?) Tang (maybe a dwarf angel or butterfly) What do you think about our...

So a coral beauty angel is reef safe? Any larger angels or just dwarf ones. I heard that tangs are 'ich' magnets..any that arent and can be together with another tang?

Right now my tank will be FOWLR. I may get corals and anemone depending on my lighting situation. (off the subject but right now I have 60 watts total..VERY bright room a lot of natural light...are there low light corals/mushrooms I can get?) The fish I like are tangs, angels, butterflys...

Ok, forget what I have in my tank. Long story..but everyone died. Now all I have is a firefish! I am restocking in about a month. I am thinking... tang (blue powder or suggestions?) butterflyfish (threadfin) maybe a reef safe angelfish (dwarf maybe?) Can I have a yellow tang and another...

Oh good idea! I think I will use a smaller hose next time I siphon. I have one and inch wide and i took out about 20 gallons of water in a minute. What size do you suggest to get all of my junk on my sand but not toomuch water?

I have some florida LR that has a lot of coralline algae and plants. After about a month, the plants have all, mostly, turned white, and there is a lot of debris on this specific piece. When I do a PWC or stir the water, the junk goes all over. Can I take out the rock and carefully scrub off...

Ok, another dumb question but I have to ask.. What if I siphon out and remove ALLl of the water in my tank, leave the LR in there. Put my inverts in bucket of my water when I do it..and put in a brand new batch of water, all 80 gallons and put the inverts back in the new water? If the ich...

afilter- You mean like three mounds of rocks with spaces in between? One on the left, middle, and right side. Like this? HAHA *** *** *** ***** **** ***** ***** ***** ****** __________________________

Hi everyone, So now that I have a good two months on my hands with letting my tank sit, I am working on getting more LR. My tank is in a window cubby thing so I cant get to the back of it. Right now I have my LR simply put from side to side in the tank, all in a straight row. This is fine...

Oh oh, LFS said that I really don't need to turn on the lights in my tank for the next 6-8 weeks..they said that will help with getting rid of the ich? TRUE?
