I wouldn't bother with changing the bulb in that light if you plan on upgrading later. Save your money for a better lighting system. That light would be fine for FO, but if you want to have corals and/or Anemones at some point, you are going to have to upgrade.

I have a Red and a Purple in my 150 and they hang out together quite a bit. Right now they are in a 30 gallon QT together (Ich breakout) along with a few other fish and no problems.

I agree with YellowTail. Eddie's is a pretty good LFS. Gets a pretty wide variety of the things you mentioned and will special order just about anything you want.

I had the same thing on a few fish in my tank. A Hippo Tang, Yellow Tang and Royal Gramma. I put them in a QT tank and treated them with Spectrogram. Within a few days, they were all clear. Hope this helps. I did have quite a time catching them...I end up having to remove some LR, but I did...

Terry is DEFINITELY RIGHT! I tried a few "reef safe" treatments that did not work on the Ich and killed most of my snails. (Marine Max - which didn't really seem to harm anything and Greenex - nasty stuff!) The fish also developed a bacterial infection while being treated with the Greenex. I...

Ok, as of tonight, Purple Firefish is clear and looks good. Cloudy bag on Firefish Goby seems to be getting better. All others are about the same. I forgot to mention that both Tangs eyes have a cloudy film over them - doesn't look the same as what is on the Firefish - he has what looks like...

I wrote to you a while ago about Ich. I think I have a number of things going on with my fish. I have removed all of them from my display tank and am going to try hyposalinity for the Ich. It is heavy on a few of the fish (Hippo Tang, Royal Gramma), lighter on others. A few of them (Yellow...

Well, it doesn't seem to have taken care of the problem. However, the behavior of the fish has not changed at all and they are still acting and eating fine. I'm still not convinced that it is Ich. The spots look like Ich that has been treated and are fading. I'm think I'm just going to watch...

I was talking to one of the employees of my LFS about Ich. He said that a UV Sterilizer is very effective at removing parasites from the water and could solve my problem. I'm really up in the air about what I should do. The spots on my fish are very light, like Ich that has been treated and...

I have a mild case of Ich and started to transfer my fish to a QT, but I'm having a very difficult time catching some of them because of the LR. I was thinking of trying Garlic as a last resort before going to desperate measures to catch them. What do I do to prep the garlic (if anything) and...

Gave the second treatment last night. All fish are now clear and everything in the tank is doing well. I'm still going to treat at least a couple more times. It looks like it may have worked but I won't be sure until next week. In the meantime, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I ordered the Custom Sealife a few days ago and it will be here Monday. Thanks to everyone for the input. I'm already looking for true actinic bulbs.

The directions say to treat aquariums with unhealthy conditions every other day until conditions improve, then once every two weeks to maintain healthy conditions. I treated Tuesday and today the spots are completely gone with the exception of a few spots that are barely visible on the Tang...

I stopped at my LFS today and one of the employees said it sounded like Ich. He also said he has had good luck with a reef safe treatment made by Tropical Science called Marine Max. I added some to my tank today and will post a thread in a few weeks when I see how it works.

Thanks for the reply Terry. I have seen it on the Royal Gramma, the Tang and the Flame Angel for the past 3 nights or so, but then they are all clear or nearly clear the next morning. Tonight there are several spots on each of the same three fish, but if it's like the other times, they will be...

For the past few days, I have seen spots on the fins of my fish that resemble Ich. I mostly notice them at night. The next morning they are usually completely gone or barely noticeable. I have a QT ready, but don't really want to transfer all the fish to treat them until I'm sure of what they...

I am in the market for a power compact so I can keep an Anenome or two. I am leaning toward the Custom Sealife 4X65 with Moonlights. My question is for anyone that has this light. How loud are the fans? My tank is in my living room and I want to keep the noise at a minimum. My second option...
