he is in a qt tank. i didnt wait for ick to be visible. i started hypo the day after i got him. since at the store there were fish in the same tank or on the same filter system i am sure he has had a chance to get ick and just wasnt showing it. so basically what i would like to know. exactly...

can ick go unseen for a long period of time? i have a clownfish that has gone through hypo before but it looks like it has a spot or something but i dont think it is ick. if it is ick, how long can it go unseen for? and i also have a tang that is in hypo right now and he has 2 spots of ick on...

well i just got a tomini tang. i have him in qt and i have started doing hypo. im doing it just to be safe. i have noticed one spot on his fin which may or may not be ick. anyway. he was kept in 1.019 at the lfs and that is decently low so should i bring it down to 1.0009 quicker then 48 hours...

this tank has been set up for about 4 months now and every day i find something new in it... today i found this thing that looks like a slug or a nudibranch. i took it out because i wasnt sure if it is good or not. any idea as to what it is? should i put it back in the tank?

mine hid for months, i re did rock work and stuff and now he comes out more often.

ok, i was planning on doing that but i was just curious as to how you knew that. i like to learn as much as i can. i will post pictures when im done today!

ummmmm...... doing hypo in your main tank will absolutely not make you have another cycle, during or after the treatment. i did hypo on my dt a few months ago, before i switched to reef. all i did was take the rock out and let it sit for 6 weeks in circulated water with a heater. preformed the...
