    Ugh lost my kole tang, and coral beauty:(. Now all i have now is my 6 line. I dont have a Hospital tank so im just going to give him back to my lfs. Now im just going to wait for 8 weeks to make sure every desease is gone on my tank then ill restart. The only good thing is now i can save money for stuff I needm, But next time I will setup a hostiple tank! Maybe i will have more luck next time..

    Sorry to hear about your loss's. Good plan taking them back this will give your tank the time it needs to be truly cured. I would definately set up a QT so next time you wont be bringing another round of ich into your system.

    i have the same problem as you do. but unlike you i cant return the fish, since they are all infected.

    3 of them are curable ( or so i think) but my flames is dying.. idk what to do, if i can do anything to cure him.

    please someone check on my post and help me out

    Are the fish in the tank eating/acting normal?

    and +1 on garlic it entices them to eat and boosts their immune system.
