Nidilsky Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 So much algae. I think my halimeda went sexual. Something, I don't know. I have been working so much, been kind of neglectful the last few days. Quote Link to comment

Nidilsky Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Trip to Michigan went good. Returned to a major wc in waiting. My neighbor was nice enough to feed the tank in my absence. Parameters are good. Nitrates crept up to a tad less than 5 ppm. Wc went uneventfully. Finally, got the algae somewhat under control. No new sponge growth that I have seen. Bird's nest is showing growth and looks great. All fish are super healthy looking and no aggression whatsoever. Quite the opposite. Rufus, Juice and Peppers swim together regularly. Rufus also hangs out with Hen at their favorite shady spot under the trumpets. Pretty sure that Nigel is prepping another brood. I am ready this time with rotifers going in all tanks and a culture simmering away In a 5 gallon bucket (which I thin into the fuge every other day). The tisbes I put in, going nutso. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nidilsky Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Parameters are excellent. Spike and the gobies have ich in a big way. They continue to eat, however, so I hesitate to treat them. Having a diatom bloom. The new RODI system? Most likely. Also, I have a floating green algae on the surface of my water...even with plenty of circulation. The diatoms and algae seemed to start when I began 1) to use my RODI and 2) using coral frenzy. I am on the verge of using a different light on my fuge, as the growth of everything in there is stagnant. Massive pod hatch they are everywhere. Quote Link to comment
Squared Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Some people have success "beating" ich just by feeding nutritious food, and the fish seems to fight it off on its own without a relapse. However if I were you I would just pull the fish out and treat them, and then let the tank run fallow. Just better long term. 1 Quote Link to comment

Squared Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 How do you plan to treat? I used copper safe once on some clowns, turned out really well. 1 Quote Link to comment

There's also formaldehyde. Or low salinity. All not entirely safe. Don't know if I'll do anything, accept continually feeding them. Quote Link to comment

If you look on my thread around the time I got the baby clown last month, you can see some info to read about the tank transfer method to treat ich. Might be worth looking into. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nidilsky Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Parameters are good. 0 nitrates. Last time I tested it was around 5. Tank feels empty. Almost bought a tailspot. Having issues with coral placement. Bought a new powerhead...i think it just muddied the waters even more. I bought a plexuara and have no idea where to put it. It seems ok where it is, but don't think it's getting enough flow. I guess I am just not so happy with the aquascape. Kind of wishing i hadnt epoxied the corals i have, where their at. Feeling stuck.

debbeach13 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Did I miss some thing? Why would you consider getting another fish if you have fish with ich? Quote Link to comment

You're right. You did miss something, I said almost. Consider policing after a crime is committed. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

But, other things have come up to spend my money on. Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Again I am sorry usually I try to make my comments positive. That post was a complete fail and should have included a question about another tank or a QT and treatment. I usually only fail when trying to be funny. Quote Link to comment
