![]() problem is my quarentine tank started the trouble in the first place I took a small rock from it and put it in the bio. 24 hours later little white spots appear.
Im sketchy about having people over because its a very small bacholer pad. Ive met many members on here in person and know the LFS staff by name. nobody seems sure of whats going on in my tank. everything was fantastic up until I brought that quarantine tank home (note to self kijiji is a $!@!@#!) I'm just at a loss right now. water changes once weekly 10 percent run my test kits don't touch it. there's just too much information out there. |

![]() Did the person you bought the qt ever run copper in it? I know anything used in a copper treatment tank can not go into your display, except fish obviously...is there anyway you can find out what was used in that tank?

a reeftank is a very strong thing doing amazing things and yet is also so fragile to changes. every little thing you do to your tank affects it in some way.......... water changes one day, rock moving the next day, fish added the next day, inverts added, fish dies, coral added,fres water added,rock moved again,fish added...... there needs to be a "quiet time" where your not upsetting what the tank is supposed to do...grow......for me i do all my stuff on sundays i honestly try not to move stuff around too much and i just let it do its thing were not the creators just looking after it, were putting our own touches on it without interferring too much. alot of the biggest problems people have in the hobby is trying to absord all the info too fast, and then doing too much to a system that cant handle it, its very hard to fix something your not sure why its broke ![]() go slow and just do regular water changes, give it a couple of weeks and things will be back to par. are you doing tests yourself or bringing to the lfs??? out of curiosity whats your lfs?? ![]()

its possible but chromis do like to hide in the rockwork when they are scared or want out of the open they could be still getting use to you. what are you feeding them??? it would help very much to make sure that they are getting garlic in their food if you are feeding frozen or flake just soak before adding ![]() keep stress down in the tank so watch the two and make sure they are getting along day and at night alot of stuff goes down during the night ![]() the ich can be in the tank and the fish do not necessarily die, its just important to keep the fish alive and strong......basically swimming and eating ![]()
