    Hanna Copper Checker Giving Wrong Numbers

    So I’m experiencing ich for the first time. I’ve set up a quarantine tank (50 gallons) and started dosing copper safe on Thursday with a slow ramp up. I have a Hanna copper checker and I don’t think it’s giving correct numbers. First time I dosed (18ml) checked about 2 mins after and it said...

    Help! I think I have Ich

    I watch my tank quite closely as I’m sure most people do and a few nights ago I noticed a few faded white spots on my clown fish, only really noticeable in certain lighting. I’ve kept an eye on in and now it seems to have gotten worse and I’ve began noticing spots on my other fish. I am almost...

    EMERGENCY White spots after quarantine

    Hello! After being away from the hobby for a few years I figured I wanted to get back to it with a fresh start, quarantine everything and no bad hitchhikers on the rocks. Since I live in Sweden my options for medicine is not as big as in the US. Copper safe and the likes are almost impossible...

    Ich in my 120 display tank

    So on my journey of reefing I have come into ich in my display tank its a 100 display 40 gallon sump. I'm currently dosing h2o2 and running uv to manage it I don't have any other tanks to quarantine fish in. I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do to prevent the loss of fish

    Clownfish with mouth stuck...closed?

    Fish are currently in Copper QT tank for ich. Background: I drained/moved tank to a new location and my firefish came down with ich after the move.

    Ich or Velevet

    Blue tang has had white spots developing on him for the past 3 days. Started with one single white spot. Now 3 days later they are covering a lot more of him. I’ve increased feeding to 3-4 times per day. He’s still out swimming and has an appetite. If it weren’t for the spots I wouldn’t think...

    Sizing UV for parasites

    Hey All, I’m starting a 40 gallon breeder and am thinking of getting a UV for parasite control. I’m assuming to kill parasites I need high wattage with a low flow pump? Should I get a 12 watt or 24watt and would this one Work? Seems reasonably priced and good quality. What do y’all think?

    Is this ICH/velvet on live rock??? Definitely some parasite what to do?

    This has to be ich. These little parasites are sitting on my live rock. Have no fish in my tank other than my porcupine puffer a snowflake eel and some inverts. Puffer is immune to the ich so is the eel.

    Fallow period enough?

    Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I'm genuinely concerned, so in the past I lost all my fish to either ick or velvet (it was one or the other) so I completely left my tank fishless for a very long time (coral only), but due to a lightning issue all of my coral died (light became too...

    EMERGENCY Disease ID please

    Something that looks like ich/velviet showed up on my clowns yesterday. I’m leaning towards ich because I’ve had them in the dt for a month with no problems and there were quarantined before that. No other fish have been affected yet. Any help would be appreciated. Pictures attached

    Treating ich, possible black ich?

    I’ve been treating my mini blue hippo tang for ich with copper for about a week now. I noticed today there’s some black spots but they’re not raised. I got prazi pro so that I can treat if needed but I’m not sure if it’s even necessary. She’s only about an inch and a half long and she’s doing okay.

    Thoughts on Copperband Ich resistance

    Hi all, It’s been a few weeks now since introducing my copperband into the display and it’s eating well on live black worms, clams and muscles. It has a strong appetite and it seems like I picked up a good one.. until last night I observed Ich on the fins/tail. It’s almost impossible to...
