    ok its day 6... the so called meds seemed to be helping alot... i was using and it was guessed correctly kordons ich-attack... now i have a problem....8 weeks later i had a sever jump in amonia... being color blind its kinda hard to tell my test kit but i do know its high as hell. too high. on a good note there is no nitrites or nitrates..rule 1.. dont overstock i think thats what i did.. lesson learned .. to much fish poop generates well amonia.... lol

    I learned long ago that most times with common true ich the cure is always worse then the problem.. Heat and lowered stress always works for me , And it will be back bet on it.. I have had tanks run yrs with no outbreaks nothing new added or any changes at all . Go into the tank to cut corals back or sudden change in photo periods and baaam white spots all over the fish now I say it can go into some type of hibernation or coma and lay for I know 4 yrs and reemerge when conditions are right..

    This is why I try to never put my hands in a tank or move stuff around . I go months with out getting my hands wet all the mechanicial stuff that would ever need any attention other then the lamps is in the sump..
