Hello, i am new to Reef Sanctuary. First off i would like to thank Big Al for directing me to the new thread. Ok here's a little about my tank, i currently have a 55 gallon fowlr tank with a gold stripe maroon, royal gramma, coral beauty, bullet goby, foxface, coral cat and six green chromis. Inverts include, 2 skunk cleaners, 2 emerald crabs, 4 turbo snails and 15 blue legged hermit crabs. About a month ago my tank came down with marine ich. Since then i have qt all the fish a 30 gallon long. I treated with copper for 2 weeks and the fish seem ich free with no flashing or scratching. However, the qt tank has no filter and just a few pieces of freshwater rock. I don't think there was any bio filtration to begin with. I would like to stop doing so many water changes to keep the ammonia down. How can i get my bio filter to start up so i can reduce water changes. right now, i have the DT tank fallow.
