Also it need to be "safe" with cleaner shrimp and some snails (like turbos and trochus) thanks... ps-i am planning to get one for my next tank, 90g fowlr |

Meanwhile I had put the Zanclus and also some other fishes that had some crypto spots into a Fresh Water bath - the temperature and Ph were the same as in the main tank.  It look like a lot better... The others...   They are all eating well nevertheless Iīm gona collect some sponge and ad some garlic to the frozen food. Speaking of food - here they are in feeding time...       Cheers, Diogo |

Freshwater baths are not an effective method against ich. The white spots you see is just the skin infection from the parasites under the skin. They won't fall off in a dip. If you want to treat for ich, hyposalinity would be more effective because they are succeptable to fresher water when they are not safe in the fish's skin. You need to wait until they are free swimming for the hypo to actually do its work.
Freshwater baths are effective against the similar looking velvet, but you do not have that. |

wow i can see this guy updating this thread in a few months. here is my prediction. two of the idols will be dead or he will have removed them because they beat the crap out of each other. hes feeding him sponge which is good but they are very aggressive fish to conspecifics. there will be a outbreak of disease because he added a crapload of fish all at once without letting his tank catch up and he did not QT as far as I can see so there will be many contagious diseases. many of the butterflys will also be dead because they will get much much aggression from the others as I can see from his list many of them are very aggressive to congenus . the emp angel will also be on his way out of the disease did not get him because the tank will be too small for him and he will waste away. thats my word.

ok well let me think of something nice to say....your tank certainly looks cool with all those beautiful fish in them. you certainly have good taste in fish, just get better with your husbandry so you can enjoy them for years to come!

Hi honda2sk,
I donīt know you and obviously you really donīt know me! I donīt just jump on things to see if it works! Iīve more then 20 years of experience with salt water reefs and fishes. Donīt you worry about my fishes because I really know how to take care of them! Thanks for your concern... For your information the Idols just donīt care about other tankmates, they just swim across the aquarium! Maybe they will get agressiv has they grow - Iīll be watching it! Right now what I can say is that they are with me for 3 weeks and they allready are eating in my hand fresh and dry food. I think that is a good start! Cheers, Diogo |

I love the butterflies & your overall fish selection but I agree with honda2sk. The idols & anthias look thin & undernourished & with the ich you have going on in your tank, I'll be suprised if there aren't some deaths in this tank.
The tank was stocked too fast & is overcrowded with some of the most difficult fish species known for long term success. Those anenomes will also need special care. You better get those powerheads covered or one of the nems will surely get sucked into one of them a create a major system disaster. You have got a real challange ahead of you & I hope you prove me wrong & these fish & anenomes live for years.

IMO, the tank is very overstocked, and I see troubles down the road, but best of luck to you.
But, my biggest concern is the Heteractis magnifica anemones, (( looks like you have two )) the lighting you have just isn't enough for them. They require a point source lighting, metal halide. And having all those butterflys in there would make me nervous too. Best of luck.
