major tank problems

[saltyrich]

I'm having a problem with my 55 gallon setup. I'm working towards a reef tank. I have about 35lbs of live rock. The tank's been running for a few months. I've changed out some of the fish due to compatibility issues, but have had general success with fish. Currently I have a percula clown, a tomato clown w/ a bubble anenome, a black/yellow damsel and a bicolor psuedochromis. I also have a few reef crabs (I know that I need more) and an arrow crab. I just removed a sebae anenome this morning. I've had him for a few days, but he just wouldn't come around. I've had trouble keeping inverts alive with the exception of the bubble anenome. He looks great. I had the water professionally tested yesterday. The ammonia was spiked. I did a water change and started using Mark Weiss' Reef Vital DNA.Salinity and specific gravity are good. Now the fish have white spots on them this morning. What's wrong?

More than likely the fish have ich. You may want to post this in the disease and treatment forum. If you do not already have one you may want to get a q-tank setup. If this is ich you will need to move the fish to a q-tank for treatment.
