This is my first attempt at saltwater fish. I have a 90 gallon tank with a Amiracle wet/dry filter with a Eheim Pro II. I also have a Euroreef protein skimmer. Heating the tank are 3 200 Watt heaters.
I currently have a golden tail eel, a wrasse, and a yellow tang. I have, in the past 4-5 months added 3 fish to my tank. I first added a box fish. About 2 weeks after I had the fish, it came down with ICK. I tried to treat the fish but no luck. It died about a week after that. I then purchaced a wrasse ( the one in the tank now) and had no problems with that. I purchaced another box fish about a month after buying the wrasse. It came down with the same ICK problem and died 3 weeks later. Currently, I have been seeing ICK show up on my yellow tang.
I have tried to treat the ICK with copper addatives (SeaCure) and icreasing the temperature to 84 degrees. I have since brought down the temperature to 80 degrees and the tang still has ICK.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to avoid this on going ICK problem.
Thanks,
