Well, I have really done it this time...I broke the cardinal rule of quarantining fish prior to putting them into my tank. Now I have a 6 lined wrasse with a bout of ich that I am afraid will ultimately pass those lovely things onto my other fish.
I originally bought the wrasse to eat up the remaining flatworms in my system. think I would have been better off leaving them be.
The wrasse looked great at the pet store but developed some white dots on his tail after 2 days in my tank. All of my other fish look fine so far.
After listening to and reading Steven Pro's article about the different "reef safe" cures for bouts of ich and other ailments I have decided to order and try RUBY REEFS KICK ICH to see if it really works.
Steven never determined the effectiveness of the medicines only the fact that they are harmul/not harmul to Xenia (reef aquaria). I am just curious if anyone has had any good/bad experience with this product. I would also like to know what the outcome was if they have had a bout of ich in a reef tank and were like me un able to remove the sick fish. I have clams/SPS/LPS/XENIA/Bubble Tip anemone/ ZOANTHIDS a longnose hawkfish, Tomato Clown, Royal Gramma, Yellow watchman goby and lots of aphipds/snails/worms/etc... in the tank now and I don't want to kill anything....So please any and all people reading this please give me some advice...thanks..
One more question:
If I do end up dosing my tank I am going to need an exact gallonage for my tank. I only guess nowadays and with this medication I want to ensure I use a precise measured amount.
My tank is a 37 gallon Oceanic with 50 lbs of
live rock and 40 lbs of live sand with a
sump that has about 9 gallons of water and 2 lbs of rock. How can I tell the exact gallonage? Thanks all!!
