    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.

    Welcome aboard my fellow reefer. If thats the only fish that ick, its being picked on by another fish.

    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!
