Fish Help Please

Hang in there and keep us posted Gumby!

Ich is back. Its on my Blenny's eye (poor little fat guy) and on the regal (one spot that I can see).

I'm rechecking my params this evening and will start dosing with Nox-Ich, unless anybody else has any ideas.

I really thought my tank params were real good because of the snail eggs (somewhere I read that your water has to be pristine for them to drop eggs) and the astreas doing their thing.

It would stress the fish out more if I try to remove 90+lbs of LR and chase them around to put them in a QT Tank. So I'll have to dose the whole friggin' tank.

Fish Trap!

I use the one from my LFS and it works easy.

It is a box, acrylic with a sliding door with fishing line attached, I put food in it and sit back about 5ft or so. I let the door down slow after the fish goes inside.

ok,
here are my params:

SG 1.025
ph 8.3
am 0
Ni 0
Na 0

I do not have a PHosphates tester, but before I first put this thread up, my water was tested at the LFS and it was zero (or just over zero).

Ok what is NOX ICk, what is it made of & how will it effect your aquarium? Wal-mart has these 10g tanks cheap you could treat them with but then you still need to wait long enough to let the ICK die off in your main tank, I also hear a UV helps, may even rid you tank of it completely once your fish are healthy again but at this point with LR in your tank I'd be scared to add anything that the porous rocks can absorb. Read the articles posted by cheeks, if not already, by them maybe someone like Cos can post in again, maybe shoot him a PM, before doing anything, I agree at this point more actions are needed, if you treat these fish & rid your tank, we need to make sure that something else isn't causing stress, your Prams look good though, so I'll ask, you some questions you may be tired of hearing. One Test kits, how old are they & what name brand? How is your water temperature, is it raising up and down every day, have you been checking it day and night randomly and often? How are the fish getting alone, any chasing the others wildly? Sorry just trying to help, I know I may seem repeating here but I do want you to get through this successfully.

Today, nothing on the blennys eye, its not even cloudy. Regal looks clean. BLenny looks to be breathing a little hard (but he has done that since day one).

I don't know what to do at this point.

Nox Ich come in a botttle, it say reefs reef safe, approx 2oz of liquid per (I think) 50g. You dose the tank every 4 days. I'll probably head to the LFS tonight and I will get the actaul chemical that is being used to combat the ich.
