Just a quick update : I lost that big fat Angel that I have had for the last eight years (I really did think that fish was indestructible). Everything else though is doing really well and in tip top condition now, 5 x yellow tangs, 2 x regal and the fox face and just one damsel left. I am...

Hi Good news and Bad news. That yellow tang that I have had for the last eight years with the damaged fins sadly past away. The Angel that is a similar age is about 50/50 I would say, he doesnt look too bad but has sadly stopped eating, at least I am in with a chance though, and he is very fat...

So far so good, I am now at 1.012 and everything still seems to be very happy and eating well, I would say that the fish are in really bad shape though, being absolutely covered in ich and over their eyes as well. Any idea when this cycle will finish (its been about a week now) ? I dont have...

There is an internal filter in the top left hand corner of the hospital tank (it looks like a grey stingray) that provides surface flow. I dont know if this is any good or not, but the marine shop said I didnt need anything else The ph of the main tank is about 8.3 (I only have a colour chart...

Firstly, thanks very much for all your help and advice so far. I took another salinity reading last night of the main tank and you will be pleased to hear that it is 1.016 not 1.012 and everything seems to be much happier (this was done on Thursday evening) when do you suggest reducing it down...

Yep, I was up gone past 2am last night trying to carry out the best rescue operation that I could, at least then I know I did try my best and make the best of a very bad situation that I created, and I know that I must carry the guilt for that. Hopefully though if just one single fish can be...

ahh, I thought I had removed the ich from the butterfly after the fresh water dip, anyway the marine shop said put him back in the main tank as well so indeed that is where he is now going. Yes two airstones that are not for effect and the tank is US 180 gallons and according to the marine shop...

That is exactly what I have decided to do. Please remember though this is a damage limitation excercise so there is bound to be some casualties sadly. Firstly when I got home there was a regal dead that I was lucky enough to be able to hook out and the Raccoon Butterfly wasnt looking good at...

Yeh I have been trying like crazy and at huge cost with those polyfilters and also I got this today : JBL Bio NitratEX http://www.aquatics-online.co.uk/catalogue/jbl-filter-media.asp But I guess nothing will beat 20% water changes with my RO unit to try and get those nitrates down. Thanks...

Thanks for the reply. This tank is about 4 years old, and the rock and some of the fish are 7 years old (from my previous setup) : http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=9683&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Although you are correct that I have only recently increased the stock by 50%...

PH 8.0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 50mg SG 1.2 Temp 82C (just to try and speed the ich cycle up) 150 UK Gallons FOWLR Hi I have tried to read up as best I can on ich as it would seem that my fish have started to suffer from it, I have already lost in the last 48 hours a yellow tang and now my regals are...

Almost spot on this time....well done... :D it measures 72 x 18 x 26 which equals about 145 Gal I was told by the shop that it was alot more than this unless they work them out differently in the UK or something...

I hope these pictures might give you some other clues on the size of the tank....

Are you honestly serious or did you forget to add a zero on the end of your figures ?? look at the size of the power heads and seaweed clip...then have another guess :wink: Full details coming shortly...

Yep blue background....a few more pictures here...I hope they are not starting to get boring.... I just made a donation but forgot to add my ID details...can anyone tell me how the donation system works...or what time fishfreak comes online ??...so I can give him my details....

Thanks I hope to finish "rocking" it out this year...but living rock here is so damn expensive...I also have some videos of my previous set-ups that I will try and upload later.... :D

Hi... I just wanted to say what a lovely layout this site has and also to introduce myself and my marine aquarium... regards Jabba
