Just found your thread. Great tank and fantastic installation in the wall! Love it!!
Great scape and fish as well. I got a PBT a couple of weeks ago as well, and now my whole tank has got Ich. Damnation.....
Anyway, congrats on a great job!

Thank you. I lost a PBT a few months ago due to my own stupidity. I am one of those who has given up hope that Ich can be completely eliminated. With my fish being heathy and under as little stress as possible, it seems to be manageable. I see a spot here and there that goes away and all fish are looking amazing. I've even quarantined everything with copper and prazi pro and still got Ich in my system and one fish had intestinal worms. Just part of this hobby, I guess.

Yep, but my Ich is not manageable at all at the moment, really bad....

I'm sorry to hear that. What are you doing to fix it?

Have dosed xxxx (can't remember the name, it's in my thread) for 4 days, and now I'm dosing Hydrogen Peroxide. Haven't checked progress today (late this morning) but it went well the first 4 days, and then worse again :tears:

I just read your thread. Beautiful tanks. I'm sorry about the Ich. I hope it subsides for you. I'll keep watching for your update.

I think I screwed up by putting in the sand first, because I'd place like 3 rocks and the whole aquarium was cloudy, so when I ran around to the front, I couldn't see anything!

Thank you. My tank is in a blackout period trying to fight off dinoflagellates. I will keep everyone updated on how this goes. Good or bad. I'm really looking into a biopellet reactor, but not sure yet.
How'd the black out affect the dinos? Hope it's all better now. :fingerx:
I fought it during my new tank syndrome but I didn't have to do more than blow it off my corals & rock with a turkey baster. Took a long time leaving but it slowly depleted whatever it was feeding on, I reckon.

The Dinos are completely gone. Hopefully for good. The problem I had is that the blackout stressed the fish out so much that I had a massive ich outbreak and lost my powder blue. My diamond goby seems to be next. Fix one problem and create another. Really frustrating. All corals seemed to lose a little color too, but are doing just fine.

I know it's been a long time since I've been on here, so here is an update of my tank. All the corals have colored back up. I, ultimately, lost my powder blue, both my squamm anthias, diamond goby and one percula. I got rid of my flame angel because he was nipping at all my corals. The Dino's are still there. I have kept them at bay, but they are still horribly ugly. Parameters are stable.

The biopellet reactor seems to be helping, but still to early to tell. The growth of all corals are very good.
Beautiful corals & fish ! The corals are really looking healthy and colorful
Great to hear your on the up swing again !
