55 gal Ammonia .025 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 PH 7.8 S.G. 1.021 My tank is going on a year old. I admit no comments... I did not do the best maintenance for a while. I was discouraged with the algae, so I bought a RO unit. The last 4 water changes have been 10% ever 1.5 weeks. I also added a UV...

That's fine, no argument here, but did your clown loose scales where the patch or crust was?

simm, Beth, newreefers, Again, thanks for the input! Dispite my qt cycle problems, things are improving. My Clown is healing and eating again! But I still do not think it was ick. The "White Crust" is gone, but where it was, he now has no scales. I know Beth, you told me to not use any med...

Newreefers That does look like it, like salt deposits. It seems to be flaking off I am not sure though. It appears to be getting a little better. My camera crapped out on me or I would have gotten a better picture. What did you determine it was?

I have been doing the garlic thing for 3 days now, i will do daily water changes to keep the water in check.

Thanks for the reply, Unfortunatly it is new, and I started it with water from my main tank. By now though, it prob has very little of that water left. Is ammo lock safe to use at this time? I currently have ammochips in the fiter and have nitrasorb if I need it.

It is a clown, I thought I said that, I want to know what is on him. And the file size allowed on here won't allow for a clearer pic

Two days ago I dropped all my fish into my Hospital tank with what I believed to be ick. The next morn my clown had different symptoms. He has not eaten but shows interest in food, I have treated with coppersafe, malactite green, and hav reached 1.009 salinity. I am gravely concerned. He is...

Thanks, Clarkii That is what I wanted to hear. I did read to add a cup of your substrate, in my case cc. I went ahead and did this becaues they said it is not enough to absorb any meds, and I figure it will help with ph.

I had this same concern, so I found a Quality batery backup for a computer on sale at a tech store $30. I did some math and my pump is about 25 watts. The battery will run a 300watt computer and 190 watt monitor for about 15 min. If I am right, it should run my pump for over an hour. The...

I am currently having the same thing happen, only it is a clown that I have had for about 3 weeks. I am positive it is ick and plan to QT/Hypo the whole group. My clown the main issue is letting a CB Shrimp clean him, so at least it is being kept in check whilst I set my QT up. Anyone reading...

Hey Jakob4001, thanks for the lesson in life. Before assuming what I Do and Do not do, for my tank maybe just a recomendation would be helpful. I did not write for a lecture, I am simply trying to learn and understand. By the way I spent plenty of bucks on a VHO light, and I feed my Anen...

Hey all, that is a lot of good stuff. The reason I picked the Pet store at the time was selling me a Tomato Clown and In all my lack of wisdom, liturature I read said it would like a long tentical anenome. And he was a little larger so he would not be picked on to much. Well he is a Cinnimon...
