I am living close to frankfurt. And yes I can buy online. Do u have recommendation for the salt? I have an hydrometer is it not good enough (the only thing I could buy from the store and was kind of expensive)? I usually used distilled water.

Cool, I dated a guy from Frankfurt. Only been to Munich though. Beautiful there.
Anyway. The hydrometer is not a great tool for salinity. If you use it, make sure to follow the directions exactly to get a good reading. I honestly never use them. The refractometers are a bit expensive. $50 range here in USA.
Salt is what you want in your tank. I use Instant Ocean Reef Crystals currently with no issues. I have used others too. Distilled water from where? Do you buy it that way? If so, you may want to invest in a RO/DI unit to make your own water. These will run you about $150 USA and then filters annually $80 at most.
I cannot see the fish close enough to know if it is dealing with ich, but treating it in the tank with corals is not a good option.

I do not have much corals yet. Just a briareum neon. And an Algae chondrus crispus.

Signs and symptoms[ich]
Typical behaviours of clinically infected fish include:
Typical behaviours of clinically infected fish include:
- Anorexia (loss of appetite, refusing all food, with consequential wasting)
- Rapid breathing
- Hiding abnormally
- Not schooling (in schooling fish)
- Resting on the bottom
- Flashing
- Rubbing and scratching against objects
- Upside-down swimming near the surface
If you want to treat for ich, you can try to get something that will treat in food or tank. Since you only have the algae and the briarium, you should be pretty safe with the reef safe products or non-copper meds.
