Default Hello!

Hi, new to the hobby and new to 3reef.com. My salt water reef aquarium is not even 6 months old yet, but doing fairly well. It consists of the following:

36gal bow
ProClear Pro75 Wet/dry filter
50 Lbs liverock
2 Ocellairs Clowns
Purple Firefish
Pygmy Angel
Royal Gramma
Cleaner Shrimp
Several snails and hermits
Hammer Coral
Zoa Polyps
Metallic Green Star Polyps
Toadstool Leather
Pom Pom (Pulsing) Xenia

So far so good. The only problem I've been having is an Ich outbreak on my Royal Gramma. But no other
fish seems affected... But I'll get into that in another thread.

Ick on one fish is sign something in tank stressing it out.

Probably by another fish as stated above.

I would do some immediate water changes just to make sure not problem with water params. Maybe something that you are not testing for. If there is, Ick will be sure to spread.

That is the "cure for all evils" to me.


Good Luck!
