Reefing newb
Hello All,
I need help. Here's the scoop: New 50 gal tank that I plan on making a reef tank, about 8 weeks old, cycle complete. I have about 40-45 lbs live rock, a Firefish Goby, Banded Coral Shrimp, Peppermint Shrimp, and 2 days ago I added a Coral Beauty, who now appears to have Ich.
I've read a few threads about Marine Ich (MI) and am not encouraged.
What are my options here? What can I do so that I will still be able to make this a reef tank in the future?
What do y'all suggest I do considering that I only have 2 fish in this tank (and 2 shrimp) and have not yet added any corals?
If I remove the fish to a QT, do the shrimp in my main tank still host the MI or do I have to remove EVERYTHING from the tank?
Thanks for any help,
CMOS
