ICH UPDATES…..
ICH UPDATES…..
As I expected, my Emperor did not make it….also join the list is another Anthias… Now only remaining survivors are 1 x Anthias, (down from 5), 3 x Tangs (Hippo, Yellow & PB), 1 x hawkfish, 4 x firefish, 1 x blenny, 1 x rabbitfish, 2 x clowns, 1 x Coris wrasse and 1 x Trigger.
The good news is the remaining fishes seem to be getting better from the Ich attack so hopefully it takes a turn for the better now. Apart from my Tangs and Clownfish, which still show a little sign of Ich, the others don’t seem to show any more sign. Will monitor for the next one week to see if it comes back. Meanwhile, continue with the garlic and ginger extract and increase feeding.

hi ed its alex from SuZhou here. just finish reading your thread.
YOU ARE SUPER MAN. you have a super design and a very. super tank set.
would like to help on your ich problem. as i have once try it in my singapore. lower your tank Temp to 24 to 25. it will slow down your problem and your fish will hell itself. as long as they are still eating. just my 2 cent view. it may or may not help.

Hey Alex, great to see you here on my thread... mmm I always thought that by raising the temperature will slow down the growth rate... will try tomorrow and see how it works.
I'm hoping the worst is now over and hopefully they will start to recovered. In the past I also have ich problems but increase in garlic feeding and a raise temperature always seem to work for me but this time I've a feeling it could be more than ich I'm dealing with...
ot...will need your contacts to fill it up with SPS buddy

Did my weekly water parameter testing and 10% WC today……
➢ Temperature â€"œ 27.6 degree C
➢ Salinity â€"œ 1.025
➢ Ph â€"œ 7.99
➢ NO3 â€"œ 10 (same as last week)
➢ Ca â€"œ 450 (old Salifert test kit)
➢ Ca â€"œ 450 (new Salifert test kit)
➢ Mg â€"œ 1440 (slightly higher than last week
➢ dKH â€"œ 8 (old Salifert test kit)
➢ dKH â€"œ 7.4 (new Salifert test kit)
➢ dKH â€"œ 7 (API test kit)
➢ PO4 â€"œ 0.03 (using Salifert PO4 Test kit)
➢ PO4 â€"œ 0.14 (using Merck High Sensitivity PO4 Test kit)
➢ Potassium â€"œ 380
Odd thing is my Ca started to climb...not sure if it's cause they are not growing as this week my corals color are slightly dull out which I suspect is due to the high PO4 which i have yet to reduce due to the feeding....
My Algae Blenny also fall victim to the Ich…..it’s odd as he never did show sign of Ich but found him on the sand bed today.…I’m continuing to monitor the remaining fishes…
Meanwhile have not seen my Coris for the past 2 days already so not sure if he is still around buried under the sand or he did not make it and my clean-up took care of it :mad2:

Ed,
when my Ed's tank was having a problem with ick, someone suggested that we lower the Salinity to 1.022 or 1.023. I know it dosen't sound like much of a drop, but it worked for his FOWLR tank.
It sounds like your getting a handle on the situation now and your corals are hanging in there.
Your tanks is still beautiful you did a great job with everything you touched!
Try not to let this set back discourage you!:mixed:
Best of luck!:wavehand:

Thanks Sandy - your post means a lot to me.
Yeah, it's a great set back for me but today seeing my fishes much better swimming around and fighting for the food again during feeding time brings me back some hope...
Drop of salinity will help if it's only FWLR set-up but the trick here is to balance the corals and fishes....
