To start I have a 105 Gallon reef tank with the following stock:
1) Venustus Angel
2) Rhomboid Wrasse
3) Pintail cf Wrasse
4) assessor macneilli
5) Neon Goby
6) Midas Blenny
7) Convict Goby (Priolepis nocturna)
8) 2x Cleaner shrimp
9) fire/blood shrimp
10) snails, 2 Halloween hermit crabs, 2x fighting conchs
So I notice that the Pintail has it and even the neon goby is showing white spots. The Angel recently flips and flashes the goby and the cleaner shrimps do attach and clean him. Blenny did have some white spots but now gone. However, I know the shrimp will do nothing for ich, but I am not 100 percent sure if its ich.
They are all eating well with a blend of mysis shrimp, brine Spirulina, pellets and I was given a large sample supply from Ocean Nutrition Pygmy Angelfish food which the angel loves (this is the new recipe that ReefB published about). I also use selcon.
The Dilemma: I will be moving in three months. I planned to breaking down the reef and moving it to the new location in about two months. I have some nice rare fish that I don't want to lose. The 50 gallon and my 20 long can be used for a QT as they have been used in the past.
I would need to remove all the rock and coral because the fish I have tend to love and hide in the rocks. I would be basically breaking down my DT tank now then move the fish into the 50 and finally put the rock and coral back in the DT.
I am also now running a 57 watt UV Aqua sterilizer at 260-300 gph 2x turnover at +/- 360k µw/cm2.
Proceed moving them into a QT or should I just wait it out? I can setup the 50 qt at the new location in two months.
On top of all of that I am fighting bryopsis. Merry Christmas to me lol!
My galaxy s3 phone cant get a clear shot of any of the fish. I see it more depending on the tank light. The fish actions are telling me something is up as they pester the cleaner goby for a cleaning.
Some pics (they look fine but you can see the spots under certain lighting):
