There isn't one that's 100% reef safe, but there are some that do t kill any in the tank. When I use Ich-X, it sometimes kills unhardy corals and a...
About the ICH-X, it will have some draw backs. It's like other medications, but no copper and small amounts of the other ingredients. It took about 8...
And this is off topic, but a little warning about all tangs: they're prone to ICH disease. The first symptoms are small white dots on the fins and...
It depends whether you want your tangs to be happy. I'd put 2-3 in a 150... That's just my opinion. Some people have 15 in it just for show. As for...
I don't do much research on skimmers, but I've had experience with two. There's the biocube skimmer. It doesn't have the best performance, but it's...
Ehh, I'd go with an FX5. 600 gph, and tons of room for extra filter media. The G6 seems so fragile. The FX looks like a monster and is pretty quiet....
Thats awesome. I always wanted a dogface. I hear that they look a lot more peaceful than they really are. Lol. I had a friend who had one in his 185,...
Well it's not exactly "huge" it's a 185. The Sailfin was added months before the clown. Buth medium size. And I know that clown tangs are unusually...
Maybe. Except can resistance really deplete ich? three of my fish had ich. A Sailfin Tang, Flame Angel, and a Clown Tang all had it. It was gone...
Never can trust petco for fish, all sorts of diseases. :( BUT, about 8-10 months ago, they came up with a medication for ICH that is reef safe. No...
Thanks for the replies. I've read that a UV sterilizer will help kill ich? I don't know about a fish that already has it, but... Are there any fish...
What color are the shrimp? Clear-white? I have some weird shrimp in the back compartments of my biocube. Sometimes I spot them in the tank itself....
Or do something extremely simple, get a toothbrush, bucket full of clean saltwater, and scrub off the live rock in the bucket as much as you can. Get...
No need to start the tank over. How many hours a day are your lights on? It could be that. Or, to get rid of the already-existing algae, you could...
I know a snail can't be killed by Ich... But I don't know about hitchiking. Possibly.
No problem.
What kind of skimmer do you currently have? And if possible, try moving the skimmer up and down, might be at the wrong level above the water. Also,...
Habits* and reef* not deer. Sorry folks
Last weekend, I purchased a Sailfin Tang from my LFS. He's a young one, about 2 1/2 inches long and had average, healthy coloration when I bought...
Thanks for your help. I brought it to my lfs for rehab. They put him in an isolated tank. But I think it might be too late. I guess you have to learn...
