Just as an FYI, the only reason I don't currently hypo any of our fish is because we just don't have the room to set up a dedicated QT tank. Once we get our own house, I'm planning on setting up a 33L with a sand filter, if I can DIY one, to use for QT.
But, once we do get a house, every fish in our system will be Hypo'd before being allowed back into the DT an frag an species tank.
The one true cure that I know of personally for Ich is hyposalinity treatment. Keep the fish at 1.009 SG for 6 weeks, then slowly, over a week long period, bring them back up to 1.025. The ich organism can't survive the lower salinity.
LOL Kim, you know she's probably on her phone right now while you're on the computer reading this...
Happy Birthday Beth, hope it's an awesome one, you an Kim make this forum a fun place to be around, and are just awesome people to be around period.
With her work schedule next week man, it's her only day off, literally LOL So I think I'll keep her happy, she's not been in the best mood lately as it is, work's been killer lately.
John, with a fish that beautiful, you let it get away with things LOL
Rick, we'll have to come by one of these days so we can see the new additions. I'm a big lover of the Angelfish and can't wait to have some, for now, I'll have to settle for a pygmy/dwarf angel LOL.
Ryan, I believe Danik has both of them, you might want to shoot him a message. Besides, if you've never seen his system, it's a MUST SEE!!!! his fish room brings out the envy in me LOL
Grumble Grumble Grumble....
I'm probably not going to be able to make it, Jess want's to do something that day, and well, I'm sure you've all heard the saying, "A happy wife makes for a happy life" LOL Too bad you can't tape it, cause I was really looking forward to the discussion on fish breeding and diy fish rooms an what not.
Oh well, maybe another time lol
+1 on contacting Dave(Barelycuda) he's an awesome guy and breeds something like a dozen different clowns, he's got more baby clowns in his clownhouse than most of us will ever see LOL.
If you read through the thread, he's actually got a shark/ray tank set up as well. An with the location of the pond in relation to the house and the way the sun hits it, he says he has no problems whatsoever with the sun itself.
I was on ReefBuilders tonight and came across an article on the Tiger Angel, and someone had linked to this build in the comments and I'm still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor....I haven't checked to see just how many gallons it is, but it's a 26,000 liter Marine Pond....

This thing is simply unreal, and the amount of fish, over 400, is just astounding.
Enjoy...
Oh, an it's in South Africa lol, so any ideas about going to see it, well, get your passport ready LOL.
if it's BA, pick the bubbles off, out of the tank, with a pair of tweezers or something, and then dip, cyano, dip, bryopsis, don't buy, hair algae, depends on your CUC, and flat worms, dip
