Originally Posted by bellaroxio Pardon my ignorance. But I was told corals (soft and hard) cannot stand hyposalinity! What you and Sep are saying that QT is not necessarily hypoing? Thanks Well here's my guess. Leaving the corals in a QT for 3 - 4 weeks (non hypo) will guarantee that the...

If I was able to remove the fish, could they be placed in copper and then over a weeks time do a few water changes? Will that still introduce copper to my display tank? (sorry if this sounds stupid, I'm just thinking of any possible solution) Or... remove all of my corals and inverts...

I have several corals, 5 chromis, yellow tang--> (who also has ick, ugh) and others. (you get the picture) It's going to be impossible to get these fish out to hypo within another tank... What recourse do I have here that wont adversely affect my corals and inverts? I have bottom feeders that...

Your first coral huh! haha They are labeled as HARD to care for because they need to be fed three times a week and prefer low lighting. They are hard tubes but within the tubs is a soft, polyp that looks like a sun.

LOL, no one seems to like the threads i create. Im El Lamo.

Once the plastic dip is dry it should be fine.

Yes the fish is in quarantine and I'm reviewing my options.

I've just done so. This is definitely ick then?

So where do I start? LOL

"Small blue tangs have a poor survival rate, and are highly prone to ick." Great.

On my baby blue hippo tang. If so I have a UV sterilizer and diatom filter (if that matters?) None of the other fish have this... Please tell me it's not ick...

Originally Posted by Chankanaab Thanks to everyone. Will start the cyano war ASAP. Start using RO water rather than tap, dont overfeed = less phosphates. and/or/also get some macro algae to compete with the other non-wanted algaes/growths.

Originally Posted by myreef05 Looks like red slime to me more than it does cyano. Cyano tends to be more brown looking doesn't it? They are the same thing.

Dang! How about suggesting a new way to cure ich (or discuss your success with something other than hypo) rather than point fingers hahaha. You've attracted all of the mods! Luckily I haven't encountered ich... yet.

Funny - I was about to post a thread about temperature because my tank swings from 78 - 81 everyday because of my lights and the room temperature change... Everything seems to be alright however.

Originally Posted by Farslayer If cyno is real bad, there is medicine you can add. You will need to do a 25% water change 48 hours after you first use it, and you can do a second treatment right away if need be. Also, reduce your lighting considerably for a short period of time (like a week or...
