I recently lost all my fish. Bought a mated pair of clowns and evidently brought a severe case of ich. Tried reef safe products but not as good as the ol blue stuff I used before I started keeping inverts. I'm keeping the tank fish free for 8 weeks to try and insure the parasites in the tank die...
