yeah, this is happening to my Yellow Tang too. First it was white spots so I treated it with Kick Ick and fed my fishes food soaked in Garlic and now ths spots became black.. I don't see it in any other of my fishes except the Yellow Tang. Does anyone know what it is??

I moved everything from 55 to 75 gl. My 55 gl now have African cichlids.

I've read the Sticky about the QT so I'm going to follow that step by step. Now the question is, how am I going to QT all my fish? Do I have to do it all at once? How big of a tank do I need for 1 yellow, 1 Powder brown, 1 Dot-dash Butterfly, 1 scooter blenny, 1 mandarin Dragonet. BTW, thanks...

Thanks for the replies guys. Check this out, I just got home and discovered that the ick disappeared. I check one by one and could not see any white spots on any of the fishes. Before I left to work this morning, there were quite a few white spots on each of them but now it's all gone. Can...

I'm going to go get a tank today and start the QT process. I have 80 lbs of live rocks and 50 lbs of Tufa rocks, it's going to be so hard for me to catch them unless if I take all of the rocks out. Is there any other solution to treat them without moving the rocks? I have no hard or soft corals...

My Tank has been setup for almost 2 months and and everything seems to be fine. this happened after I did a 25% water change and added a 5 lbs live rock to the tank. I've also noticed that after adding the 5 lbs live rocks, there is a lot of little micro critters crawling around the glass. I'm...

I don't have a QT tank because I'm new at this but I will be setting up a QT very soon. I don't know why my Ammonia level is at .25 eventhough I've made a 25% water change. I do soak the food in garlic and feed them with it for the past couple of days and also removed all the carbon and added...

I just did a 25% water change to my reef tank and added 5 lbs of live rock to my 75 gallon tank and discovered all of my fishes got ICK the next day. What should I do?? What is the best way to treat them in a hurry? Im heading to Cancun for 1 week this Sunday and I don't want to come home...

Hi, I came home from work yesterday and discovered a dark red line on his body and thought it was a cut and was concerned. I've also noticed that he was hyper and was freaking out. He would swim really fast from one place to another then hide behind the rocks. This morning I woke up and checked...

Sorry guys, I'm new at this lol. What I meant was my first TANG in the tank. I've had the others for 2 weeks now and my tank is over a month old. Thanks for the quick responses. BTW, how many fish can I have in a 55 gallon tank? Thanks, Tony

Hi, I just bought my first fish and I'm having prblem getting him to eat, what am I doing wrong? I fed him frozen Brine shrimp and also left a piece of Nori but he doesn't seem to be interested in it. He's been in my tank for 3 days now and I'm afraid he is going to starve to death. Your input...

Hi, I have a 55gl tank and it's been setup for about a month now with 35 lbs of live rocks. I know that mandarin feeds on Pods but is there an alternative way to feed them something else since my tank is only a month old and I don't think I have enough or any pods available for them. If so how...
