i just went from 2-15 watt 50/50's to 1-96 blue and 1-96 watt 10k white. just before the lighting change i added a flame angel,
i have always chosen my fish very carfully, but this time i bought this fish from a laundry tub in the backroom of my lfs. he has a large sale from time to time and puts the over flows in the backroom. i watched the fish eat before buying , but could not really inspect him well in the white background of this tub. i noticed on him some white spots on his tail and body now, i'm assuming parasites. have a coral banded shrimp was hoping he would help, but havn't seen him cleaning anyone. i have a new
for my uv will install wed. in my signature below you can see just what i have in the tank, someone said garlic soaked food, soaked in garlic oil or garlic juice of some kind? i feed flake and pellets mostly some frozen angel food, the tank is so beautiful with the new lights and now my first problem in 22 months :(

could it have been the severe light change and stress everyone out. i have the blue light come on in the morning for 2 hours than white kicks in then blue for 1 hour after white goes off. fish don't seems to like the blue only phase
