Guys,
This might sound really strange... I added a Blue Tang after 5 weeks of QT, no signs of any ich.... My 120 Display also shows no signs of any ich... I did transfer tanks a few weeks back... 55 to a 120... The 55 had ich once maybe 9 months ago.. Went away after 2 weeks.....


Here's the strange part.... The Blue Tang when he wakes up in the morning is clean, of any spots... But come towards the end of the night it looks like he is covered with Ich..

Now, the tanks filtration is new... I went with a Oceanic Sump underneath... I am seeing a ton of white particals in the water column. Thinking some dirt is being kicked up... Is it possible the white stuff is attaching through out the day and falling off at night?? Can ich accumulate though out the day and then fall off at night??? I have always gone under the premise that it was a 3-4 day process??
 
My wife just called me, and said his eyes are covered with a white film, and his lower body is white... BUt she fed, and he did come out to eat food, im hoping he can fight off whatever this is....

He has been eating the entire week, with gusto.....
