Re: why is my Regal Tang scratching himself to hell
I agree with Redline. It can be really hard to keep corals healthy if you are running a UV sterilizer 24/7.
There is no way you can ever 100% prevent ich. There just isn't. So to say that "if you use these products, you will never have ich" is just incorrect. Ich is an opportunistic pathogen. You can't prevent your fish from bumping into a rock at night, which will compromise its immune system, possibly leading to an ich outbreak, even with vitamins.

Re: why is my Regal Tang scratching himself to hell
hey now, don't be passing a death sentence on my Dory just yet. He/she/it is still eating like a pig and swimming in the open. I am of the belief that as long as they are eating, they will be OK. Hiding and not eating are sure signs of upcoming death.
