    So... my angel died on Sunday morning.. looks like from ich...
    Now my clowns are sick and one is laying at the bottom of the tank most of the time. They are all still eating and swimming except for this one.

    Temp: 80.0
    Salinity: 1.024
    Nitrite: 0
    Ammonia: 0
    Nitrate: 0
    PH: 8.0
    Phosphate: 0
    Hardness: 10

    Last water change Sunday.... 5 gallons
    New filter put in with water change

    Not running the skimmer right now because I'm medicating the tank, have been since Sunday when I first noticed the clowns not doing so hot.

    Any ideas?

    Set up hospital tank and treat the clowns with copper or hyposalinity.

    Well, if I can do a hospital tank in a rubbermaid, then I'm set... if not... I may be SOL for a while. And yes I did add another powerhead.... forgot about that

    You could use rubbermaid but if you use copper, don't use it again on your tank or wash it thoroughly before using it again.
