I need help not sure what the heck is going on with my tank! Its been set up for about almost 3 months. Tank had been going awesome cycled about amonth ago! nitrites are 0 nitrate 0 amonnia 0 not sure what ph came in at, salinty 1.022
well I had 4 damels and a yellow tang all but one have passes due to what I thought was ICK! well I did not put anymore fish in for about 2 weeks and just sunday I bought 2 baby clown fish. this fish store is a very well know and highly recommened place. well today I woke up and my babies are covered. I did a fresh water dip on them, and it cleared up a little, put them back in to tank and about 15 min later one was dead!!!!!! I just want to cry what am I doing wrong? What should I do! how do I get rid of ICH? where does it come from? why do they get ICH? is it from stess? as you can see not to much in my tank

If you add tank water to your QT it will aid you. You don't need to cycle your qt if you vigilantly clean it everyday. Read Beth's sticky.
