  1. hi jervismun,

    i can feel yr passion in the hobby! haa

    anyway, just to share, my purchase of clove polyps have never failed to come with nudibranch pests. They hide in dead/half dead clove polyps and multiply at an amazing rate. You may like to monitor yrs closely yeah?

    and, dipping them in concentrated iodine separately helps.

    keep posting...

  2. Hi all,

    I have read many articles that advocates the removal of all fishes in the main tank and treat the fishes with medication such as copper or using hyposalinity in a separate hospital tank?

    With all the live rocks in the tank, it is impossible to catch the fishes unless the rocks are first removed (massive work).

    Have anyone succeeded in treating their ich infected fishes without removing them

    from the main tank?

    Kindly share your experience. Thanks!

    No other way. Without going fishless, there are bound to be traces of ick left. Even if you don't see it, it just means that it's either at the dormant stage, or yr fishes had already gain some immunity from them.

    You could probably reduce the "concentration" by using UV or ozone.

    Just my opinions.

  3. Look at what additive you are dosing.

    Trace elements for fishes may include:

    Iodide

    calcium

    Light to a certain extend improves coloration.

    Iodide and calcium affect coloration? :huh: Imho i don't think so. :P

    Lighting, yes... visually it may improve since the color temperature alters our color perception.

    I still think that generally, we are not able to provide the kind of nutrition that they can receive in the wild, which probably explains why after a long period of time, the color fades.
