Good question! I wish I knew!
All of my fish were quaranteened. The only thing I can figure is that the angel somehow had it when he went into quaranteen and showed no signs of it at all during QT. I didnt medicat in QT bewcause didnt see any reason to. Didnt see any ICH or anything else wrong...
What is the best medication to treat the fish in QT? I read about hypo but with my work schedule (60+) hours weekly I dont know if I will be available to monitor the process closely enough to do hypo.
Ok, once the QT is set up and cycled. I take all the fish out of the display and put them in the QT.
Gold Stripe Maroon Clown
Purple Tang
Sailfin Tang
Midas Blenny
Flame Angel
1) Even the Flame? I read somewhere not to treat an Angel.
2) What do you reccomend for treatment of the fish in QT...
I have a 90 with 440 VHOs and I have a lot of those. The only ones that I see might be tough are the Brain & Candy Cane.
You should be fine with most softies and LPS.
I wouldnt try any SPS though.
Thinking of upgrading to a 180 and wondering about lighting. Will probably stay with the lps and softies but might want a maxima clam.
Will probably sell my 90 and use the VHOs from that since I have the Icecap 660 and solar 100 dimmer already. Also have an Aqua Logic chiller on it that I can...
Very fat and healthy. I feed my fish 2 times daily. Flakes early and brine/frozen food later.
Midas has taken residence at one end of the tank so I feed the majority of food at the other end and then put a little on his end after the others start eating. That way he doesnt have to compete with...
Anyone have a better way of attaching powerheads to the side of your tank? I have 4 Maxijet powerheads in each of my tanks running on wavemakers but the suction cups are wearing out and I came home to a sandstorm today in my 90 Gal.
I am happy with the locations of the powerheads so would like...
Is there a specific creature that you "dont want" in your DSB in a reef tank?
I know flatworms are bad but what else out there is bad for corals, clams, anemones, etc?
Here it is.

Ok, after doing a search and reading a few articles, it appears that I may have Ich. Evidently the Ich paracites drop off after a certain period of time which will account for the changing locations.
The reported life cycle of ich is only 30 - 45 days so I dont know how I got it because...
