Urgent tank crashing hard (pic pg2)

This seems a little quick for ich!? Are any of the fish eating still? Or are they all not eating and covered? Can he shoot you some pic's to put up?

 

hard to say with teh eating thing, they are on an auto feeder so its not a monitored evolution. ill ask for pics

 

pic isnt the best but you get the point.

 

ok alot of inverts so that limits things! If things are still eating i'd say let it go! Get the tang some garlic seaweed and the rest some garlic food and try to get some herbtana to keep them eating! I know i'll get slammed for that, but it worked for me and gave my fish the munchies!

 

what to do about the ich?
raise the temp?
lower teh SG?
lights on / off?

 

I don't see any signs of ICH. Maybe I'm confused. What really seems to be the issue. The tang having less color. The clown looks just fine. The cardinal could have died because of something from the LFS. You could try using Selcon.

Edit: ICH can be defeated by a healthy diet and healthy fish.

 

hes tellin me thres white dots all over the tangs fins, and 2-3 dots on one of the clowns.

 

I don't know Sticksmith, that's kinda what my tang looked like! I'm a rookie though, so i'll leave that up to the pro's!

From what i've read, you can't really do any of the things you ask!
SG drop will kill the inverts
High temp doesn't work in saltwater ich!
lights won't do anything!

If it is ICH there are 2 choices! Both suck!
Take all the fish out and leave the tank fallow for 8 weeks or so!
Or use selcon and a product like herbtana and garlic to keep the fish eating and just hope they power threw it! Most mine did! lost the most expensive one of course!

This is what can happen when adding fish straight from the store!

It sucks, but if it is ICH, not alot of options! like i said, I pulled the fish that stopped eating and put them in a hospital tank to treat!

Good luck!

 

clowns are tough! he should be fine! The tang is very succeptible to ICH!

 

hopefully we can get the tang to start eating.
