Hello everyone its been some time since I posted,cause everything is all well in my tank,as of now.Im looking into setting up a 220 gal for Butterflys or Bat fish anybody know what to do with the problem of them getting ich besides dosing the tank with copper.I have a long nose butterfly in my 150 gal with my triggers,tangs & clowns & she is doing great,now I want to set up this new tank with some other breeds of fish. All suggestion & comments welcome. :jumping:
