What kind of lights do you have on your fuge?

And what macros do you have?

I´m using 2x36W PC 10000K lights and currently I have Caulerpa taxifolia, chaetomorpha and Botryocladia uvaria (a red one).

Cheers,
Diogo

Nice additions, hows the Idol hanging in there?

 

[danielp]

Which one of your great collection would you say is the easiest to keep?
Also it need to be "safe" with cleaner shrimp and some snails (like turbos and trochus)
thanks...

I agree!!! But I do have the conditions to house them with confort! A excelent skimmer, a good refugium witha DSB, a lot of good Live Rock, ozone and UV are the most important to consider in a FO tank - I have them all!

Meanwhile I had put the Zanclus and also some other fishes that had some crypto spots into a Fresh Water bath - the temperature and Ph were the same as in the main tank.

It look like a lot better...

The others...

They are all eating well nevertheless I´m gona collect some sponge and ad some garlic to the frozen food.

Speaking of food - here they are in feeding time...

Cheers,
Diogo

Awesome pics!!! I like your selection of fish

Freshwater baths are not an effective method against ich. The white spots you see is just the skin infection from the parasites under the skin. They won't fall off in a dip. If you want to treat for ich, hyposalinity would be more effective because they are succeptable to fresher water when they are not safe in the fish's skin. You need to wait until they are free swimming for the hypo to actually do its work.

Freshwater baths are effective against the similar looking velvet, but you do not have that.
