Check the disease and treatment section. One of the first posts will tell you how to treat with hyposalinity. It needs to be done in a separate Quarantine tank. The little white bugs with legs are probably pods. They are a good thing.

Sounds like your an irresponsible newbie, who got into the hobby without knowing a clue about maintenance or care, and killed all of your fish, viewed finding nemo way TOO many times and are single handidly responsible along with other newbies for "Over fishing" and fish price raising! Sorry for being so blunt but im sick of this s@@@!

Leave the hobby if your sick of it, and you seem to be the type that has spent way to much time playing MMO's... He has asked for help either give it or leave!

If it doesn't work than your fish will probably be dead and you won't have to do much but get rid of it. IMO a 55 gal tank is to small for any tang. It may be part of the reason they are getting stressed out. Your tank will need to run fishless for atleast 3 weeks then you can begin restocking hopefully with fish that are more suitable for your tank. If it is ich, I believe hyposalinity is the best way to treat it.

you definitely should spend more time on these forums. we are your friends and although 6 months might seem like a long time to you, there are people on here who have been doing this stuff for 20 or 30 years. You probably don't think you are a newbie at 6 months, but believe me. you are. i've been in this for just over a year and i still consider myself a rookie. don't mean to put you down, but just trying to help :)
just take your time and be patient. after spending time here you will realize that lots of things you thought you were doing right were actually very wrong. you'll learn that most store owners don't know much about the hobby other than how to give false info in order to make a sale. not all of them, but some. don't trust anyone that isn't here on this site. the only people you will find on here are just like you. wanting to learn and be successful in this hobby. it's not an easy one.
the best move you've made since you came into this hobby wasw getting on here. trust me!
Good luck with your tank. best thing to do is just let it sit fishless and study up for a while.

No problem, not everyone on this site is as rude as that guy. As for the white bug looking things on your glass it may be baby pods, a picture would help ID them. If it is baby pods they are nothing to worry about all developed tanks have them and they are good for your tank. Allthough I do agree with the above post if you lose your tang I suggest setting back and doing a good bit of research on this site and don't be scared to ask questions you only run into a few butts like the Heat Lover (not going to say what I really feel about him on here but....) I have a 90g reef been up for a 1 1/2 years so far knock on wood I have not lost a single thing thanks to this site!

I said i was sick of irresposible fish hobbyists who get into the hobby without knowledge or research. I didnt say that I was sick of this hobby. This person DOES not have some kind of starter NANO CUBE. From what i gathered from reading thier public profile,,, NO ITS NOT OK TO have 3 or 4 tangs and 6 CLOWNFISH, that we know of in a 55g, NO 6 MONTHS is NOT an established tank. AND somebody needs to tell them that,, and yes in this fashion. What else?

You are wrong! :mad:
It does not need to be dealt with in this fashion. This is not a place for people to come and be scrutinized beacause they were misinformed. It's not her fault. We are here to HELP eachother not SCREAM at eachother. You are being very unfair and stubborn at that. You have to know you are wrong. Just obviously starved for attention. If all you want to do is vent, then please. By all means, vent. Don't sit here and pretend that this is the way everyone on this sites acts towrd new hobbyists, because that is incorrect. And not one person would disagree with me on this. That I assure you!
I said you were a Jerk and I stand by it. 100%!!!!!!!
