Update, I did take back the yellow Tang, the blue one did die, probably not due to the Hypo, but slowly he went south. Now I have no signs of ICH in my tank, but I want to follow suggestions from people on this site and Hypo my other fish, please help me by answering my question on this thread...

OK, I have had a bought with Ich, I was thinking about putting this in the disease forum, but this kinda could be in here as well. Recently I requested assistance with a Powder Blue that I had just gotten and he ended up with ich. Just for those following, I took the Yellow Tang back, like you...

What does 3/3 mean, 3 things in, 3 dead? What do you think the issue was?

1journeyman- thank you for your input, I was leaning towards not treating the DT. As for the tangs. These two were on my list from the start of fish I wished to have. I am saving to get a 125 so in way less than 1 year I will be upgrading tanks anyway. See, I got a 60, should've gone bigger...

Please review the issue I am currently having with ich over at here: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/280756/first-ich-experience-is-this-what-i-should-do#post_2226200 The question comes into what to do with my sand. I am going to transfer my inverts and LR to another tank/container, but I had...

I have 60lbs of sand, so mayb 2.5 inches. IF this keeps the bacteria, then if I was to move it around to put my rocks back in so they are on the bottom of the tank, won't this maybe cause a cycle or HIGH nitrate spike due to disturbing the sand? I just want to know what I am going to need to...

bellaroxio- Thank you for answer for 3 Razor Vampire- Thank you for answer 1 and 2 Basically then, after doing hypo on all the fish, I should NEVER see ich again unless I introduce it with additional fish right? since hypo kills it, if every new fish goes through hypo then I don't have to cry...

Yes, this is the same tank. (first and only tank right now) Some people thought it might possibly be a lymph, I watched it and one went away after 2 days, the other after 2 more days so I didn't worry about it at all. These spots look more bubble like then the other ones though and if I looked...

I have a tank, 1 month going. All has been OK, I added snails, crabs, a Serpant Star, 2 clowns and 5 chromis over that month, obviously not at the same time. I have a 60ga and my levels have been fine, recently my Nitrates have gone up to 10. 4 days ago I added a yellow tang and a powder blue...

I have a 60ga that has been setup for a month now, all things are great. The problem, or thing I am questioning is, I have super small "sediment" floating around. It almost looks like super small air bubbles, but if you watch them, they just go around with the water currents. Some gets sucked...

I'm far from an expert, but on a new tank you will see your trite go up pretty high, then go back down ALL THE WAY to 0. Then you know it is done cycling. Depending on how much LR and LS it could take a week to a month for the most part. After your Nitrites go to 0 then do your first water...

OK, I have had my tank cycled for 20 days. I have added 5 green chromis and 2 tr clowns, 10 margarita snails, 15 or so hermits, 1 Red Serpant Starfish, and 3 Emerald Green Crabs. All of these except for the Emeralds were in about 2 or 3 days after the cycle completed on July 4th. Emeralds...

I found (and let me know if I am doing something bad) that if I sprinkle it on the surface of my water in my Wet/Dry the pump will dispurse it nicely. The water gets slightly less clear, but NOTHING like the first day. What I have been doing is adding 2 scoops a day, it seems to be climbing...

I was aiming for about 400-410. From what it read, 1 scoop per 5 gallons will raise it 28 So I figured what I put it, half that, would bring my 340 up to about 354, then in a day or so, I would do it again and get it up slowly every other day. I now think I will just do 2 scoops a day. And yes...

My calcium was low, around 330-340 so I went to the LFS and picked up some Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium. I read and read, it said that you should use 1 level scoop per 5 gallons of water, MAX dose is 1 scoop per 5 gallons per day. I have a 60 gallon tank with wet/dry that I added 52 gallons of...

In response to adding so many fish, I wish I would have read that somewhere. My lfs of course didn't seem to mind, they seem knowledgeable though, and are pretty good about telling me to decide what I want in my tank, and then making sure what I buy will all live happily ever after. As for...

He is about 1 1/2 inches total from nose to tail. Like I said before, I have only had these guys a little while, actually I got them July 5th. So I am probably very paranoid. Today, this one started being mean to the other clown. He will just go up and ram the other one, not ALL the time, but...

OK, I am brand new here, I have read and read. I finally after 3 weeks of reading, picked up a 60gal tank, 70lbs Live Rock, 60lbs live sand, wet/dry and completed my cycle, did a water changeout and then added 5 green chromis and 2 tank raised clowns. I being new, am checking my nitrite...
