So I am having an outbreak of what I believe to be marine velvet in my 120 gallon reef tank. I am still slightly unsure, but that seems to be what it looks like. I plan on getting a 55 gallon QT to fit all my fish for treatment, but I am curious about the best treatment for this? There seems to...

Argh! After posting two days ago that I had two corals (a hammer and a frogspawn) that had been gradually receding with no real reason - NOT brown jelly disease, I just woke up this morning and saw my goniapora had brown jelly ooze around half of its base and was missing almost a quarter of the...

I was on vacation and the person who was suppose to be watching my tank did a bad job and as such, I ended up losing a fish to ich. But they put in 3 new fish into that tank and those three new fish are not showing any signs of ich at all. I was told by the LFS that I still needed to treat the...

Has anyone have any experience with the AquaBella Bio-Enzyme Salt Water Treatment? I am looking at it to supplement my weekly water changes to assist in getting my "possible" nitrate levels down. I said possible because all test says I have high nitrate but none of my LPS has shown any signs...

ICH I can honestly say, that I'm not overly freaked out...at least not yet. I've read on different forums about hypo, additives and garlic. I have come to the conclusion that there really isn't a conclusion. When I first set up my take I took some recommendations and started dosing. After...

Hello, I see a lot of people complaining about ICK. I just wanted to share my experience with treating it encase it might help some of you. I encourage anyone else to chime in with their opinions or experiences. I AM IN NO WAY AN EXPERT!! This is just how I treated MY FISH. I treated, first, a...

Hi guys, This is my first time posting in a forum ever and am after some opinions. So I purchased an ocellaris clown (TR - I think) and had it by itself for about 2 months without issue. I then bought it a smaller wild boyfriend and both seemed fine, they would swim together but the new one was...

Hello, I have a 55 gallon saltwater set up, It is fairly new and I recently bought 3 damsels to add to the tank from a local fish store. After a few days I noticed one was getting white salt sized dots on him and his skin was getting velvety looking (found out that its ich to my understanding)...

Just wanted to strike a conversation on Ich. It seems that all of the folks in the hobby deal with this at one point in time or another. Maybe we can start a dedicated thread here in PHD for a guide to the problem. Ich is not the best in the world, but can be delt with rather easily if one...

I have been noticing that in the past week a red algae is starting to grow on the glass of my aquarium, the sand, and the rocks. I'm thinking that it's probably not a good algae, but I could be wrong. I can try to post pictures of what it's looking like so far if it will help. If the algae does...

So I got a juvenile clownfish yesterday and he was looking MIGHTY FINE. He took to my larger, black clownfish immediately and they've been inseparable. However this morning I noticed a few light dots on his side, just seems obvious that it's ick. So far he doesn't seem bothered; I haven't...
