How long do you have to leave your tank empty of fish to let ich run it's life cycle and die? I've seen on this board that someone said 3 weeks but I've read other places that say 6 weeks. My lfs guy says two months. I've had my tank empty a month now and I want to make darn sure that all ich...

Currently I have only fish and inverts. I plan on getting a couple corals later when I upgrade my lighting.

My 125 gallon tank has the ich. I was considering getting a uv sterilizer to kill the ich in my main tank while my fish are in the hopital tank. If I do get a sterilizer does anyone have any recommendations on what brand and size sterilizer to get? Since Christmas is coming, the price of the...

How would a 6-7 " yellow tang get along with a 3-4 " blond naso tang in a 125 gallon tank? Thanks.

I was wondering if a small fuzzy dwarf lionfish would get along with my current tank residents? I currently have a yellow tang, a coral beauty, and a maculous angel in a 125 gallon tank. I also have various snails and crabs, will he bother those? I don't have any corals at the moment but I...
