Thanks guys, I've learned my lesson, I will never put another fish in my tank w/o quarantining it first. I am also going to find another fish store, because they give very bad advice , and also sell unhealthy fish. I think they do this in hopes of crashing your tank, so you'll come back and spen...

Well, the yellow tang died, and the hippo tang is almost dead. I was feeding the tangs algae strips, that you hook on the lettuce clip, and flake food. I am soaking flake food in a garlic extract named kyolic that I bought at the GNC store. As for water, I have been checking it with Red Sea test...

I have checked my water parameters and they all seem to be correct, Earlier today I did add PH Buffer to my tank it was a little low. I think there may also be toxins in the water, because I originally tried to treat the tank with Greenex, and lost alot of my fish. So I started the hypo. a...

I am not for sure, I don't have a R/O unit, I am going to my local Target store and filling my jugs out of their R/O machine. Is there something I should be doing to the water instead of dumping it out of the bottle into my tank. The water is coming from a machine made by Culligan.

I am using R/O water, how can I get back on track to finish bringing the salinity down. Also is it normal for the fish to be shedding?

Hi, I am using Hypo to try to get rid of the ick on my fish, I have been reducing the salinity over the past 48 hours in my main tank which is 100 gal. I have changed approximately 40 gallons of water, when I started the salinity was 1.022, now it is down to 1.012, Should salinity drop faster...

After using the GreenEx for 4 days, I have lost 80% of my fish, it does not help get rid of Ick, I think it just poisions the fish so they die more quickly. I have moved my inverts to a QT tank, and I am now in the process of trying hypo. which I should have done to start with. I will find...

I visit the BB at about.com, they have some great info. there about saltwater aquariums.

Well I didn't have much choice other than try the hyposalinity, and I knew this would kill the inverts, so I am trying the GreenEx, My LFS swears it works, but they have lied before LOL. Thought I would see if anyone here had tried it, I'll keep you posted as to how it goes.

I was wandering if any one has used the medication for ick called greenex, which is suppose to be safe for inverts, if so does it work, and what affect did it have on your tank.

I have a problem with Ick, My Regal Tang is covered with it, I bought it about 3 weeks ago and like an idiot I did not QT it and I have been reading the post here about hyposalinity. I have a 100 gallon tank with 2 Emperor 400 filters, I am not currently using a skimmer and I don't have any live...

I have a 100 gallon tank, and about 18 damsels, I have had a very bad outbreak of diatom algae and was told to get a clean up crew. I went to the LFS, and they wanted $3.99 per turbo snail. I have found a place on the net where I can get 100 turbo snails and 100 small blue leg hermit crabs for...
