Ok who do I believe than? lil.guppy said not to do the fresh water dip the rest of you guys seem to think that this will kill the ich. Why cant I do the salt drop if I have live rock or live sand? I don't have the means to set up a quarantine tank. I have provided a picture earlier of what I...

Ok after reading the link that was provided I have only one question. Do I drop the salt in the tank they currently reside or do I have to make a quarentine tank and drop the salt in that? I wasn't really sure when reading. Thanks for the help.

Salt and temp stay normal. Really only one fish looks bad. A couple have a few spot here and there. Than some of the fish don't have any at all. Right now the only treatment I am giving them is I soak their food in garlic and vitamin C before I feed it to them. They are all eating, even the...

Does putting them into fresh water for a couple of minutes really work?

http://asset.soup.io/asset/1212/4490_c055_350.jpeg That is the link to the picture of my tank. I have three snails and one hermit crab. So I can't do the copper thing. I feed the fish either frozen mix, flakes, or pellets. All of the Parameters are good I take a sample to the LFS. Two...

I'm new here just to point out. Also new to the fish tank world. I have a 55 gallon tank, with a good amount of live rock in it. I also have 6 fish with a sand bottom. I'm not sure what other details to give. Thanks

WTF!!! I'm really starting to get pissed with this whole saltwater fish tank. I just want to have some fish that swim and stay alive and are happy. I googled ich and yes that is what it looks like. Is there any thing I can do to get rid of this? Or is it basically a death sentence to all of...

There are some white spots on a couple of my fish. Almost look like pimples. Does anyone know what this might be? Is it a problem? I have about 6 fish, I would say that 2 have these small white dots on them. Thanks

It's more of a light orange than a yellow. The other clown is more of a dark orange / red. They aren't the first fish I put in the tank. I've had some trial and error with this tank since I'm new to this whole thing. My girlfriends brother set it up for me and said he was going to help out...

I can't figure out the add picture thing. I wasn't allowed to add attachment, but I saw the add picture thing. I tried it two ways to get the pic loaded on here but didn't work. Any way here is a link if you're interested: 7331_ab1d_350.jpeg I think I am at my max with fish right now. I am...

I don't have plans for upgrade just yet. I would like to master this tank first before I make a bigger investment into a pricer tank. I am still learning and want to make sure I'm not going to kill everything first. How long do you think I could keep the Tangs? The Blue Hippo is just a baby...

Update: I added another clown. I don't know the exact breed of clown but they both have the same exact stripping. One just happens to be more red than orange. They are getting along great after two days. They swim together all the time. Since I added the new Clown the first one seems to be...

The Tangs are the coolest fish I have... Not the answers I was looking for. Sad face.

How many fish is to many for a 55 gallon tank? I have plenty of live rock in there. Current list of fish that I have is: 2 clowns, blue hippo, yellow tang, firefish goby, and a orange tail damsel. I plan on stopping here. All of my fish are small. Yellow is the biggest around 2 inches...

What is this "Vodka Method" and what does it do? Oh and can you dumb it down for me since I'm new to this saltwater tank stuff. Tried reading the link but some of the things I didn't understand. Thanks

Thanks so much I will update you if something changes. I have heard the same thing about pairs of clown fish. I will probably end up getting another clown to help out. Does anyone know if I have to get the same kind of Clown? The store that I bought it from not only has the same kind but...

How can you beat the brightness of the yellow tang? Watching them swim is amazing too.

Hi all. This is my first time posting so I'm not real sure if I am doing this correctly. I am also fairly new to the whole saltwater fish tank thing. However I have the same issues as the original poster. My differences is I only have one clown fish and a 55 gallon tank. My water is good, I...
