I do hope the OP is quarantining everything. With the volume of tangs in the system, it is playing with fire.
Woah there, Take 100000000000 steps backwards and qoute everything I said not just what you want then tell me what you know about it.
You just started posting back up. You obviously didnt read this thread.
ICH is not a big deal too people who know what they are doing. Did you understand it that time? The ICH threads are people who decided to take a tang and throw him right in there tank without QT. That is their own fault.

I could not dissagree with you more. People that know what they are doing understand what a problem Ich really is, and how destructive it is to the hobby.
I am not trying to be argumentative; I just thought this statement was pretty outrageous. Ich is a HUGE deal, and has to be a major consideration in any successful saltwater enviornment.

Im not arguing with you. Im having a discussion. ICH to somebody who has been in this hobby is nothing more than annoyance. Even the OP said its not a big deal. Why arent you jumping on his case? ICH is one of the most common diseases in this hobby. If you understand it and prepare for it ICH is nothing. Its is easily curable with the correct diet and medication.
ICH becomes a major problem when somebody becomes lazy and doesnt not place their fish in QT. If you place all new fish in a QT for the 4 to 6 weeks you have nothing to worry about with ICH except the new fish you just bought. Now if you go to the store and buy a fish then place it in your main tank that is your own fault. Not the disease.
Do you honestly believe that Bio would place his healthy disease free fish in harms way by placing a new unknown fish in his set up? No. That would be insane and flat out dumb.

What he is saying is that if you read the whole thread you will know that the op has about 6 tanks and at least two i believe are strictly for quarantining. It not that ich isn't serious but its not that big of a deal if you can recognize it and then treat it before its too late. This guy obviously has a handle on his situation. That's all he's saying ( I think)

Sorry everyone, I just got back from vacation and haven't been on in a while.
Anyways, the 750 is doing great and all of the fish are just thriving. I haven't added anything else to it due to my laziness. So there's really nothing to update... yet. Sorry!

Please read the entire thread and do a little research before posting. You're not dealing with a newbie here. If you would have read the thread you would have seen that I do qt all of my fish, and YES, ich really isn't a big deal. There are far worse diseases and parasites than ich, so again, if treated properly, it isn't a big deal. I haven't had one fish die in the past two years from ich because I've dealt with it many times before and I know how to treat it safely.
The reason why it is a big issue is because it is the most common parasite and people don't qt new arrivals. So do us a favor and keep your posts in the newbie section

IMO it does. Just a little one. That would be awesome if he does. I havent seen a picture of a captive emp with one. How big is he? That guy must love you. He is in almost every picture.

You know whats crazy. I was looking at that video saying to myself "damn man they have a lot of room to swim" thinking BIO was filming from the side. Then he shot the rest of the tank. That is just 1/4 of the tank and its huge. That thing is truely a monster. Dreams are made of baby!

That would be awesome wouldn't it, my emperor has been through a lot of crap and has almost died so it's amazing to see how great he's doing. Probably one of my hardiest fish considering it's one of only 3 that survived marine velvet a year ago. And as you can see, it's very photogenic.
