I decided to post my battle with Ich, which at this point seems to have worked [ 45 gal reef tank about 5 months old: 2 clowns, flame angel, blue-green chromis ]. My flame angel got ich, so I captured him and gave him a fresh water bath (research how to do this properly). Well, the ich went...

Hello i want to share my lastest ich battle with everyone in hopes that it will help someone out :) The ich started with an incredibly stupid move on my part, adding a tang to the display tank without quarantine. of course he ended up dying from the ich. a few days later my porcupine puffer...

Good morning TRT!!! I have a question regarding reef safe ich treatment. Has anyone had any experience in using it? Does it work? What are your thoughts?

i had a 30 reef, once i added a hippo tang(too small a tank and fought yellow tang), he got ich, i tried ich attack and all my fish died and the ich attack destroyed my green star polyps and zooanthids (suprised me because they are very hardy) then i restarted in the 30 and moved everything into...

Any commens on what people have had the most success in getting a Kole Tang to eat ?

My Kole Tang has developed Ich. Since I really can't pull all the fish out, much less catch the Tang I have decided to try Kick Ick. I have a couple of questions. One, the directions state that skimming will reduce the effectiveness of the product. Should I keep my skimmer off for the 15 day...

Hey everyone, Im a brand new member to the site with a fairly new marine aquarium. However, I am concerned about these "worms" that are present in the tank. I have the same tiny white worms on the glass, as mentioned above, but today i noticed a raised white "bump" on my clown. He has been...

I just set up my first salt water tank about 2 1/2 weeks ago. The tank is starting that cycle with all the rusty color alge. My tank is starting to smell up my living room. Is that a phase, will it go away. I have about 9 fish in there now. all live rock and sand.

Well, Wiskey stopped by tonight while in town from Az, and made the observation that my tangs have ich. I hadn't checked them closely for a while so hadn't noticed. So, after reading many threads about ich my course of action right now is to: Get a cleaner shrimp or two Feed food with...

So, after having my 125 set up for 7 months, we bought a 180 and I made the move yesterday. I used 3 trash cans and 2 bins and moved everything, sand and all to the 180. It was slow going moving all the rock and sand and water. After I filled the tank up we discovered a leak on one of the...

I do not have a separate tank for the tang which has Ich. He or She is eating. Should I do a freshwater dip or just let he or she get better on its own. I am thinking of getting a cleaner shrimp. WIll that help. Thanks

Hi Everyone! Ive really been going through it since I moved 3 weeks ago. It now looks like the new wrasse has ick. Whats the best thing to use? I have a 150 with 30 gallon sump mostly soft corals with a hammer frogspawn and torch. I'm sure he got it from my sick hippo that I cant catch. I'm...

About a week ago I had a ich outbreak in my 125 G reef tank. I have been treating the tank with no-ich and things appear to be getting better, but I have some concerns. The medication says on the bottle, no not use with other chemicals. Does that mean NO other chemicals, or just no other ich...

How long would it take before symptoms showing on another fish if you introduced a fish with ich to your tank? Not visible on the newly added fish, but visible on a fish that was already in there. and, has anyone ever freshwater dippped a fish to treat ich?

SO my hippo has ich. I have been fighting it for a week and it started to get better but bloomed on her again. She is now scratching herself on the rock. Still eating and swimming and breathing fine though. My experience tells me the fish will die. Should I yank it out of the tank to avoid the...

What wattage do you guys/girls recommend for a 180g? I am thinking about trying one to help get this ich under control.

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...
