Ok so I am just starting with this hobby and it appears I have already made one mistake. I took the Lfs word that there fish did not have ick..... So now the 2 fish that came with the rock and my new tang are infected. I have in the tank some ugly fish, a Tiger goby, and a yellow Tang. I also have several cleaner shrimp, crabs, mantis shrimp, snails, anemones and all that comes with your live rock from Tbs...
I have read and read about ick, the Lfs said I will never get it out of the tank, just put in two cleaner shrimp that will keep ick under control. I liked them so no big deal that I bought them but they aren't doing the job and everything I read say's that is a wivestale. I am also feeding garlic infused flakes, the tang doesn't like them so won't eat them. So I am going to go the quarantine tank route and bite the bullet. I couldn't get a good read on what exactly you have to take out of the tank though, sounds like just the fish. But I may have misunderstood that. In the quarantine tank do I want any sand or live rock or just water and a heater with a power head? Let me know guy's and please don't bash for not doing a quarantine tank to begin with.
