Hello,
I have a weird question.
First let me give you the information you need. Tank 55 gallon, ammonia – 0, nitrate – 0, nitrite – 0, PH 8.3, Salinity 1.024, wet dry filter (TRUVU hang on back model), water used is from a 6 stage DI filter, Calcium – 800.
So here is the issue I am having. Whenever I do a water change my fish break out with white dots like they have ich. I don’t think it is ich because it goes away about 4 to 5 days later (just in time for another water change). I am doing 10% water change every week. I am using instant ocean salt. The salt is hard (like rocks) when I mix it, but I put it in a 5 gallon bucket with a Rio 2400 pump and let it mix for 24hrs before using it (and I make sure the water is clear before adding it to the tank). I am almost done with this bucket of salt then I will be opening a new one (which I will have a lid for so it will not get hard like the batch I am currently using). If you want to see the tank you can view some pictures of it here.

Oh I almost forgot I have a 30 gallon tank that I use to stage all fish in before they go to the 55 and the same thing happens in it, BUT......If I do not do the water change the white dots go away and the fish is fine......untill I do a water change again then the dots are back.
I must be doing something wrong please help:help:
