I have a 55 gal DT, with an AquaClear110 power filter(cascade type). I just got this Jebo 11Watts UV Sterilizer. It didn't come with a hose so i went to local pet store to get one and the guy there told me I wont be able to run it on my tank because it's suppose to connected to the in/out...

Let me explain the whole situation again because i'm on the edge of giving this aquarium away from so much frustation . I have a 55gal tank. At first I had a yellow tang, 2 clows, 2 gobby, 5 anemones, 1 serpent starfish, 1 crab, and 1 javanese damsel, and about 120lb of LR. Everything was...

If you recall, I had ich on two of my new fishes a flame angel (died) and a Brown Tang (because i didn't QT them prior to putting them in the DT). I removed the invert, anemones, LRs and placed them in the QT. Once i got the refractometer i started Hypo in my DT with all the other fishes even...

Ok, i bought the refractometer and am waiting on it in the mail. Meanwhile, what do I do? And once I get all I have to do is maintain the salinity at 1.009 for about 6 weeks right?

OK, from what i read of the ich cicle, it'll drop off the fish in a few days anyway right?! so is it safe to say that once it drops off the fish, the fish is no longer carring it? i ask this cuz i had an idea of, when it drops off the fish I would remove them and place them in the QT i have...

It must've been at 1.010 for about 2 or 3 days, I wasn't checking every day. I'm using a Hydrometer w/ Thermometer, it stay inside the aquarium. I probabily should be using a Refractometer but the pet stores around here don't have them, I can only get it online...my Tang and the goby are the...

Ok I started the Hypo thing on the 2nd, since then my flame angel didn't make it and one of my gobies died today. My Tang this morning had ich on it again, and tonight it's all over him...the clowns are still in normal shape, no ich, no different behaviors...I'm starting to lose hope...I did...

I have a good light for the QT, I guess i'll only have to go get the filter now...and wait and pray this will work... :notsure: I don't want my :happyfish to die! Thank you guys so much for all the help and info...since i'm a beginner you'll probabily see me here again with some other...

Ok, I've removed all the LR and inverts off the DT and am now in process of Hypo...last night when i was doing this I noticed that my Tang was now infested with the Ich....and my damsel has started to scratch...the only ones that seem normal are the 2 clowfishes....Should I remove them or just...

Ok, so from what i've read on FAQ's and on your replies, I should definitely try the Hypo. Now, i see it can not be done with Inverts and LR in the tank... So I thought of removing the LR and the Inverts off the display tank so it would be fish only...my question now is, does LR and inverts...

I tried that and it gave me a search engine with no results....

I have a 55 gal tank with 5 anemones, 1 serpent starfish, 2 clowfishes, 1 crab, 1 flame angel, 1 powder blown tang, 1 javanese damsel, and 2 gobies. This aquarium has been setup since Dec. and i've had a few problems ever since. I had another angelfish that died with fungus (he was infected...
