I have an achilles tang showing signs of ick, 1st thing in the morning the spots are gone and he is fine, as the day progresses i see the spots are back and he is acting itchy! Been almost a week now, eating just fine! Water is almost perfect, added a diamond gobie 2 weeks ago and he is wrecking havok with my sand! Nitrates are .50
I do not have a QT tank going! I have corals in the tank and am worried about shutting down the lights to control the ick, so i am going to hypo the tank, 5 gal water changes every other day to drop salinity , How far should i go and how much can i cut back lighting without hurting corals
