stocking my tank question

I would put them in a qt. Then use medication and hyposalinity.
I know you have a lot of lr so it will be a pain.
I heard they have treatment that is suppose to be safe for fish and inverts for ich. I remember someone mentioning it a while ago. Forgot the name of it.
I hope they make it.

nah the kole tang died once i moved him to a quarantine tank. and the yellow tang ended up being alright after all was said and done and i traded it for a piece of frogspawn. from what i hear he's still doing good though.

Was the rock uncured, or maybe a little cured. The ammonia could of stressed them.
I have High Ammonia Levels of .50 ppm in my tank its been up since November 04. Changed filters. Went to a trickle wet/dry from a cannister wet/dry. Left both filters on for more than a month hoping bacteria would grow in new filters. Lost some fish and an getting ready to give up. Been putting Kardon water conditioner in the tank to lower Ammonia level and have Algone pack in aquar. HELP!!! :help:

how many fish are in in the tank? i had a mini amonia problem. i cut my feedings down to everyother day. and did a 10gal waterchange in my 75 gal every night. was gone in a few days. i'm still new but from what i read frequent water changes and less feedings can really help lower levels.
