I know people will blow this off.. maybe i had a (moment) on the tank ich got ahold yada yada.
Nothing has changed minus a infection i had on some corals that i had
About 5 weeks ago i had my 36w uv sterilizer burn a hole through itself ( no idea how it happened) and i renoved my 25 micron and 50 micron filter pads i was using as they were just gone and couldnt be cleaned anymore.
A week or two after i noticed ich showing back up in my tank. Its always been there but it started being more pronounced. Week 3 4 5 and now 6 its much worse.. on every fish.. including my foxface which usually they never get it.
I finally git some new filter pads and a 55w uv over my 36w i had. The 25 and 50 micron pads ive always used with my 3 emperor 400s as ich is 25 to 200 microns in size.. i always figured it couldnt hurt to try to catch some of them.
Well with the pads and uv gone.. ich explodes again slowely over time. Its interesting to see this.
Im not worried about it killing my fish but itll be interesting to see with the even bigger uv running at 150-200gph.. with the pads back in if ich starts to decline or not.
Just thought id post this
