You guys make me want to start a nano tank
The good part is I think I got the full go ahead to make a 3 foot by 4 foot by 12 inch deep acrylic frag tank
It's going to me a dim (do-it myself) project but I'm kinda excited. I've worked with acrylic before but more worried about getting the stand and shelf (want my sump off the ground) level.
But yeah... maybe when my daughter gets older she'll want a nano tank

This may be a dumb question, but what is a 187?

Ok. I don't have any corals. Will my coralline algae be fine? How long did you end up dosing for?

I dosed for about a month.Doing 20% water changes once a week.Not sure about the coralline though,I guess it would be ok.

Do you have to do a 20% water change each week or did you just choose to do that? When you did the water change, did you dose right after it?

patriot, if you have ich, go down in the disease forum, and read the sticked threads that beth posted, those will be your BEST bet for beating this and learning how to do it yourself

It says to do the water change when you are done dosing it.I just do a 15 to 20% water change every week.I would dose it through the week,and then do water changes on the week end.Oh and take into account the amount of live rock you have in your tank.Because lets say you have a 30 gallon aquarium,you do not have 30 gallons of water in it,because of the liverock.Just saying so you do not over dose it.

I agree, ich-attack is a band-aid and will not kill ich in all of its stages. My advice would be to hypo the tank, go read Beth's FAQ in the fish disease/treatment section.

I have read all of her FAQ's. The problem I have with hypo is that I don't have a refractometer to get it down to the right salinty. Would Ich-Attack kill off all of the ich if I use it longer?

I recommend starting a thread in the fish disease/treatment section, both Beth and sep are much better diagnosing and recommending treatments
