Hello all, So my flame angel and royal gramma have been showing signs of ich now for a week. Ive been adding Ich Attack to the tank, needless to say it hasn't done anything. I tried to catch the fish but have had no success. I would liek to move them to the QT (10 gallon). I bought copper and...

Well, I'm fairly new to saltwater aquariums. I got a 150g reef tank since a few month now. Unfortunetly it seems I got ich/ick in my tank. I've been adding garlic and hoping my fish would recover on their own, but 2 tangs have now died and my Rabbitfish doesn't look so good. He is still eating...

Can Anyone Recommend A Good Ich Treatment For A Fish Only, Live Rock And A Few Starfish. Also One That Does Not Color The Silicon In The Tank. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking for Seachem Focus and Seachem Aquazole to try and battle ich. Does anyone know where this can be purchased locally or have extra to sell? I'll be going out of town soon and need to prepare some frozen food with these additives to help out while I am gone. Geez what timing...

Just wanted to pass on my experiance of today....I purchased a Hippo Tang & Copper Banded Butterfly 3 weeks ago and put them in my QT. My past experiance has taught me to add nothing with-out QT. I treated for Ick when I first got them knowing that the Hippo is the captain of Ick. Went home...

OK, so I think my foxface rabbitfish may have ich. I see the spots, but he acts totally normal, eats constantly, doesn't scratch on rocks, altogether seems OK.... I know he has it. It doesn't seem to be making him really sick. Should I take him out now and QT and treat? or wait and see...

I have a hippo tang, and i have had it for i am guessing around 5 to 6 weeks. It got the ick parasites that i am not shocked from hearing that the tangs are very ick prone. It had a good amount for about 2 weeks, then it went away. Now every once in a while it will get one or 2 white spots, then...

I dont know if i am posting this in the right forum, but here is the question. Is ich always present in every fish or does it take an infected fish to cause an outbreak? Is it posible to have an ich free tank through Q-tanks and treatment? everyons opinions are welcome but i would really like to...

I am having some serious problems with ICK and have done a couple of 50% water changes and it keeps coming back, i was wondering if a UV sterilizer would kill the bacteria, parasite that is currently plaguing my fish, and if so would anybody be willing to let me borrow theirs for a week or so...

Ok, I keep losing clownfish! I have lost a total of 10 in the past 2 months or so. I got some from DanCo, They made it just over a week then died. I thought, I'll get them somewhere else next time. I went through 6 false percs from my work. All lived over a week then died. I got 2 true percs...

Being that my tank is FOWLR, I'm going to run it hyposalinic. Right now its sitting at 1.021. Is that good, or should it be lower or higher? Thanks!! Jason

So my queastion is can Velvet be transfered between systems through liverock? Example, my main display has Velvet, i transfered a couple of pieces of LR to a new nano tank, will the parasite be present in the new system?

Well my fish had ick a week ago and i was really worried but i left the light out for a day or so and fed them more than normal and they got over it. Now a week later they have it again. There hasn't been any stress in the tank or anything.My water parameters are good i even took it somewhere...
