    Omg that kinks basically says it is going to take about three months to fix this. Great. Sigh.

    i have a 40 breeder for my QT...i find it the best all around size..the cube gives it a good dim for the larger tangs and stuff that willl be QTed

    and i also placed a few pieces of pvc for shelter..get all dif size pieces too, and use judgment for the length of them, larger fish need longer larger pieces of pvc and so on..

    also get some copper med



    once you put copper in that tank, it no longer can be used for anything but a QT

    Wow. So guess I'm going to have to get a qt tank tommarow. And I think I'm going to do the 50 percent water change for.two weeks thing and see how that goes. And let this tank I guess go for the 8 weeks. By then my 125 will be cyclein . This really sucks. I think I should just make this the sump for the other tank while those fish get healthy. I dunno this sucks though.

    So as I'm reading I'm realize the qt tank is going to take a while to cycle as well. So what do I do in the lean time. This fish was looked okay a few days ago. So I'm assuming its mild in the tank. Think I should take everything but my clowns out of tank. Maybe give them away. To lfs store and hope for the best in my 30 for next two months? Do fifty percent water changes every other day? What u think?

    what kind of tang is it??

    ive only had one fish with ich ever..it survived, and i fed the heck out of the marine blend gel food made by ocean nutrition.. it was last resort, the fish wouldnt eat anything, no pellets, flakes, or homemade mash... bought it as a desperate action and it worked, the fish loved it and didnt let it make it to the bottom.. a week or so later he was fine, super fat and as healthy as could be.. now i feed my fish that stuff regularly.. all my fish love it, and its packed with vitamins.. maybe give it a shot

    im kinda confused... which tank is cycling?? the 30 or the 125???

    if your tank is cycling and you have fish in it, get some stability, you need to beef up your bacteria.. also get some prime, its binds the ammonia in the tank and makes the ammonia safe for the fish
