Hello, we need more details than that to try and id what the problem is.

 

[mandingo]

Not much more to comment on. Small white spots on fins and body, their activety seems to be the same eating fine anf swimming fine. I had my Meyer Die today. All levels are good, I lowered my salt lever today to .17 :notsure:

 

[beth]

Yes, it does sound like ich. Do you know how to do hyposalinity? Is your tank FO? What are you using to measure salinity?

 

[mandingo]

You have me lost. This is my first tank issue. What is Hyrosalinity and FO. I'm measuring salinity with a Instant Ocean Hydrometer. Please explain how to treat.:notsure:

treat the tank with copper based meds. make sure u dont have any live rock or inverts in ur tank. copper will nuke it all but your fish will be fine.

I used greenex and my puffer looks a bit better but my hippo tang is looking spttie. I have Lots of LR and some urchines and crabs. Greenex is suppose to be invert safe as per the package.

Mandingo, take a look at the FAQ Thread then read the post on ich. The common acronyms used on hobby forums is listed in the New Hobbyist forum.
Hyposalinity is explained in 2 places in the FAQ Thread.
If you still need help, post back.
