I dont know what it is but it does look like it needs to be trimmed

that sucks. you cant use copper medications and if it was a parasite you should probably just wait a month to six weeks till you put any more fish in.

any updates?

my tanks a 90g...

i dont have any feater dusters or bristle worms right now and i guess i could move it into the fuge if it kills anything but...

im thinking about getting an arrow crab because they are pretty cool looking and i have seen people with problems, what should i do?

ill take it i dont know when ill be in northern Va though...

i want a pair of flame angles but my tank just crashed with ick

is that Nautilus in a home aquarium? i thought they were impossible to keep!

oops it didnt download right... great idea though

its a great idea but they only have angel fish for the fish one

im intrested to see how this turns out, i could buy one shroom and have them all over my tank!

i have three turbos and they have been great, they mow down all the algae and seem to be doing fine. im planning on getting 2 more turbos, 2 emerald crabs, 10-20 astraea snails, 10-20 more hermits, a sea cucumber, and a green lettuce nudibranch. i already turned the lights back to MH-6hrs and Actinics-8hrs. i only have two corals that are pretty much dead due to the algea and they arent attached to any LR so i will start scrubing the LR soon and get that clean up crew.

i have a tank that i want to set up for a pair of sepia bandensis cuttles and i want to set up another tank for a mantis somewhere along the line. i have a good skimmer but when and if i do this i was going to get another. my nitrates have been low and i havent added any copper to my tank though i have never tested my copper levels either if there is any in my water. i know a little bit and i was planning on talking to you when im ready for tham since you seem to know alot about them.

my tank is 90g, it has been running since october or november? i waited at least 3 weeks to add my fish after each introduction but i added two at a time until my mandarin which i added by its self 2-3 weeks ago. my ammonia never went above 1 so i doubt it had anything to do with that. i think it was probably the mandarin that started the out break. but im not sure how it got so bad in one day. only my flame angel and tang even showed signs of ich before and that was about 1 1/2 weeks ago the angel died like a week ago the same day i started treating the tank. the damsels and mandarin showed no signs of ich until the day they died and the tang was starting to get better until then too.

are these really necessary? i looked at some and they are pretty expensive. if i ever get my tank running again and add the 1-2 other tanks i have planned ill look into this more.(i want to get a tank for cuttles and a mantis in the same system)

i have a cleaner shrimp but does it need to eat parasites off fish? i have a giant hair algea problem too i was thinking off adding to my clean up crew alot, i only have like 5 hermits, 3 turbo snails, 2-3 margarita snails, 1-2 sand stars, and that cleaner shrimp

im pretty sure i saw a topic you had about coral only tanks, and i was plan pretty much the same thing. thanks for the help

what about inverts though like crabs, snails, corals, ect?

i know i probably could have at least im learning.

i turned off the protein skimmer while i was treating the tank. i have a QT but i havent used it really. the tang came from blue ribbon koi

too late

wait kick ick doesnt work with live rock! are you kidding me? that guy said it would work! thanks, i was going to go 1 month but i guess six weeks would be better.

one of my damsels die and when i moved my tang into the QT he just lied on his side for like a minute so i flushed him. i think all my fish are dead as i have not seen my other damsel so im goiing to let my tank sit for like a month to get rid of the algea and disease. maybe i can try some corals. at least i can start over with alot more knowledge than before. R.I.P. my tank

my mandarin died i will miss u little guy
