Yeah I did think about it. There are a few places that deliver to where I stay but I would would like to know people's opinions before ordering. Since I'm from Scotland I would probably have to look at a U.K. Based forum. I just like going to the store to check the fish out in person but but...

Ok so that's what I had when treating my fish. Just pvc, heater and sponge filter. So no rock in qt to help keep ammonia in check? Just daily water changes? Looks like the tank will be fishless for 76 days then. I don't want to take chances and I know that this hobby is all about patients...

I used a copper sulphate (I think) it was the only copper treatment my fish store had and I read that it was either copper or hyposalinity to cure ich. I can remember the name but I went to 3 different stores and this was the only copper treatment. I will get the name when I'm home from work...

Not sure if this would have helped but I think I read somewhere to try soaking food in garlic to try and make it more appealing for the fish.

I would defiantly do a water change

Yeah I did read about the fishless tank although I read a 7-8 week fallow period as when the parasite falls off the fish it can take up to 28 days to hatch and the survive up to 28 days without a fish host once the hatch. I done the 8 weeks and hen put my clown back in. The clowns was ich free...

I'm no expert but I believe they do better in well established tanks as well as the pristine water and good lighting. I want one as well but my tank is only 3 and a half months old and I have to try and resist for another 8 and a half months until my tank has matured.

Ok I have a sponge filter, air stone and heater I bought when I set up the hospital tank. Will the sponges be ok to use or do you think because I've been using copper I should just use new sponges to be safe? I am maybe going to go to the other fish store on Sunday. I have a chunk of LR in my...

Thanks for the reply. So do you just raise the salinity in your qt gradually over the qt period? I am defiantly going to qt my next fish. I haven't qt before so can I just use water from a water change out my DT for the QT? I take it it will be daily water changes again to keep ammonia in...

Yeah well I did quite a bit of research before I started and I seen so much controversy about QT. Anyway I did plan on using a QT but I ordered my tank right before I got my clowns. I had my first reef tank a few years ago and I had the same issues with fish. I put it down to jumping in two...

Also thanks for the reply

Yes I bought a copper test kit and checked it everyday during the 12 day treatment. I checked again after my water changes to ensure the copper was gone. It was a salifert liquid test kit. I use a refractometer for salinity and my other test kits (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, calcium and...

Hey guys! I'm new to this forum but I am a member to another forum. I figured I would join another to gain more knowledge in the hobby. First off here are a few pics of my tank
