well, just wanted to see what everyone thought... but i'll give it a go... if all the ick is gone, and i wait while the new guys are in..... idk... i'll post back and give the results...... thanx

so what do you do to cure it?

hmmmm. i think they will out grow it... they get like 6 inches if i remember... but thei might take a while a 20 gallon should be fine

well the reason i was thinking that is because all the lfs around here keep there salt very low! so i figured why not

do you have a link to a scarlet shrimp? do u mean cleaner shrimp? is it the same thing?

hmmm... well. w/ weekley water changes it should work.. plus, i'll wait till all the ich is gone... its only two more small fish!

cool, it would probably do great w. an undulated trigger!

Ok... so i had ich.... i then took all my live rock and inverts out and are in pals.... i only lost one fish which was my sailfin... he had ick one day and died!!!! the fish left are all doing great... This is the idea... since they are all in hypo salinty right now, i'll add all the reamianing...

ok i know i'll get flammed but whatever... i have never acclimated any inverts except for shrimp!!! shrimp are very sensetive to salt changes..... hermits and snails... lol never had one die on me, i just threw them all in.,.. they have grown since then and are lil blue electric monsters...

my gf left the ac off and it killed everything in the tank except the inverts,,, sux! i feel ur pain...........

theres one at my lfs for $40...

nice.... so what are the chances of ick coming back after the 6 weeks is up?

cool, feather dusters survive on regular lighting? what do they eat?

i'm in the process of hypo right now too, all the fish are looking great... i just hope ich dosen't return

so, i lost my sailfin, wierd, took like a day for him... my hippo is alive along w/ the others... now does ick get bigger and look like cotton when its about to die? thats what it looks like now.............

treat the entire tank asap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for real! get all the live rock and corals, inverts out, takes less than an hr... it sux. but its the only way... i'm currently doing that

thats what i was thinking too..... well my plan is to keep everything at hypo for like 6 weeks and i will add all my fish at this time.... soon as they all get along and everyone seems diesease free, i'll add salt and inverts back.. if that fails..... then a trigger and puffer will do just fine!

bump

they are awesome! just wish they same a lil more

well, since my post is getting no hits in diesease section now that i am hyposalinity the tank..... after all is done and ich is gone, will i ever get ich again if i don't add any new fish? or is ich always present in the tank?
