Everything is dying! Okay...we got ich in our tank. Found it Christmas morning...tried helping what we could until LFS opened the next morning...so caught the two tangs (hippo and powder brown)...which was a feat with all our live rock. Did a fresh water dip...seemed to help...
Next morning...go to LFS...he says to do Rally. Ok....then...Rally..this stuff right here next to the Kick Ich?? Yep...it works...trust me... FINE! &!*(@#( Whole bottle of Rally...not fine. The day we start Rally...hippo dead by nightfall. Powder still weathering well and 2 clowns seem unaffected with the disease.
Ok, whole bottle Rally gone...still Ich on the tang. Go to LFS again..buy Kick Ich...don't even ask any questions...leave. Seems to be doing the trick!:cheer: Go to work one morning (day 3 of treatment from the back of bottle I believe) and both clowns dead. Blue starfish...hanging on the glass by one tentacle. I move him to make sure he's alive...he moves...that's good.
Wake up this morning...tang practically black with black ich and looks like he's been dipped for a margarita with all the white spots he had on the newly found black crap. Still treating with Kick Ich. Where's the starfish...oh he's in the clowns old home (a clay pot), but it looks like someone has been eating him. The tang? Who knows...he's probably going to die.
What the heck do I do????
Tank specs:
60 gallon
1 cleaner shrimp
1 fire shrimp
1 blue star (I think)
1 powder brown tang
approx. 30 snails
3 queen conchs
40-50 pounds of live rock
lights, powerheads, filters etc.
Do you need any other info? I tested pH and Alk...both within limits...for the more in depth...I go to LFS so I don't have the testing supplies.
Any ideas??
