Two of my fish, Falcula Butterfly and Yellow Cowfish have the Ich and need treatment. All my other fish and inverts are fine at the moment. For obvious reasons I cannot treat the main display with copper..... My question is, can I lower the salinity levels in the main tank safely for 4-6 weeks...

Just spotted a small group of very tiny (1mm) creatures on my front glass. They have a white central body like grain of salt and about 8 or 9 'legs' around this. They aren't moving around at all that I can see. FYI I did have a small white star hitchhike on my LR when I bought it about 3 months...

Just bought LR and have these 'thingies' on there. The first is a group of about 6 one inch long fleshy tubes with a kind of flat head and very short tentacles that retract when anything touches them...are they anenomes? I also have a small group of what I think are 'shrooms (?) purple in...

Just wondering if I should leave my lights on constant or turn them off? Have a Caulerpa sertularioides that goes white when I do switch the lights off overnight but then re-greens within a couple of hours of the lights going on again each morning. Is this doing any damage to the plant? BTW my...

Can anyone help? My blue Mandarin male isn't eating, he is getting very thin and his colour seems to be fading. He spends most of his time sitting in the corner of the tank on the bottom under a piece of live rock. I have another green mandarin (female) in the same tank and she seems to be fine...
