Whats the dimensions of your tank? Is it a 29 or 30 gallon? I know a lot of people who have 29s round up to 30...but those two tanks have 2 completely different dimensions.

Ya I just figured that out...didnt get a reading with it on theoutside....duh... Tank was at 29ppt...could this be why I have been suffering gradual invert loss?

I just got my refractometer. Just a quick question... When you put the drops of water onto it, do you put the drops ontop of the glass flap or underneath the glass flap? Thanks.

Hi Beth, Im trying to learn as much as I can...so here's a question for you... Where exactly does ich come from? Is it acquired in the wild? Thanks, Matt

thats correct...but just make sure you test alot...ALOT...and if any signs of harmful buildup is found, have water premixed and ready for a change.

My fish also seem to do being better. However, I've setup a Hypo Tank and will be moving the fish tomorrow anyways to be safe. -Matt

They have a nice setup there. The have less selection and lower turnover so you can observe the fish there for awhile before purchasing. I purchased a clown there and I purchased 2 fish from Exotic Pets on Silver Lane...one of those 3 fish brough Ich into my tank. -Matt

looking good!

Hi Silent, I love 2mins away from Wetpets. They are good people but they defintely suffer their share of losses! I have Ich now too and I am treating with hyposalinity. -Matt

No my main tank has 100lbs of live rock, sand, inverts, and the fish. Haven't added any corals yet. The 29 gallon tank is currently empty. I will be filling it with main tank water tomorrow. Ill be adding a piece of live rock and sand tomorrow into the tank. When I get my refractometer and...

https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/f/ Scroll down a few posts in that thread Read through that thread. The reason why you remove all your fish from your tank is because Ich is a fish parasite. Without fish, ich dies. So you remove your fish from your main tank. After 3-4 weeks, the ich in your...

Also, are you doing a thread on how you are nurturing your live rock back to life? I'd like to look that over. Thanks for donating so much of your time. Its truley appreciated.

Beth or others, Should I move the fish to the QT tank tomorrow even though I dont have a refractometer or a filter for the tank yet? I could run either a powerhead or a bubbler on the tank. I will be also moving a few pounds of live sand...I know Ill be sacrificing it...but its easier for me...

Well my Tang has Ich too...and to save some time for Beth... I believe the general rule is assume that all your fish have the Ich. As far as "did the rock give your fish Ich"...well as I've read from all the posts is that Ich is a fish parasite. Without fish, it dies in 3-4weeks. So if you...

Update... Ordered a refractometer and Emperor 400 today. I already have a heater, NO light, 29 gallon tank, and top. Going to Pet Store now to buy some garlic additive. Going to feed fish food soaked in garlic until I can move them into the new tank. Once I get everything in, Im going to put...

Do I need to do that for every single wall plug my tank is plugged into?

Hmmmm was thinking about it. Would it matter if I used Ich infested water from my main tank to start the QT? I mean if I put in new salt water and then put the fish in, then the water would have Ich anyways....hyposalinity would kill it either way right? Thanks, Matt

besides online that is...
