Restarting my 75

[verojeremy]

Hi, my tank recently took a turn for the worse after my anemone died and i had an ich outbreak. This happened over 3 months ago but the tank still has not recovered. So i plan on putting my rock in a ribbermaid and blasting the algae off of it and changing my aquascape so my fish have more room to swim and so i can get better flow. This will be an sps dominated tank. Its a 75 gallon tank with maxspect razrs for lighting and for flow i have an mp40, a 1050 koralia, and a 750 koralia. My return pump is a mag 9.5 and i have a swc 150 bmk skimmer. Besides what i said above does anybody have any suggestions to help me be succesful this time? Also i was thinking about vinegar dosing, and just want input on wether or not i should, and if anybody has any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

Do you have an automatic top-off to keep your salinity stable

If you haven't already, remove the fish and treat them for ich.

I do have a jbj ato but have to get it setup.

The ich outbreak was a long time ago, 4 months plus. So the fish survived it, but I did lose around 3-4 but since then my tank hasn't been the same. I guess I just lost hope/interest in it but now I feel the spark again.

Today I re-did my rock structure but the tank is still pretty cloudy so I'll wait till it clears up until I take pictures.

But till then does anyone have any suggestions for which sps to get, and any suggestions on where to get them, my LFS has been lacking in nice acropora.

Even if the fish survived, the ich parasite is still in your tank, eventually you'll have another outbreak.

Oh wow I cant believe I left it out lol, busy watching football but what I meant was I quarantined the fish I could because of limited room but I had to leave some in the tank, which sadly died. But I did let it go fallow for about 2 months.

OK, I'm planning on which acropora to get but before that I have to decide where I will be getting them from. My options are from divers den or make an hour and a half trip to worldwide corals. When I go i will be looking to fill the tank up. Also this would be once I get my tank settled in and my overflow box to stop leaking. So should I order from DD or go to WWC.
