Did you try the flashlight method?
Juan, spare you all the hassle and use ozone in your skimmer. I know you are afraid because of your kids, but the tech room for your tank is seperated and it can be ventilate knowing you. I am running on my 130D currently 25mg/h ozone and I don't smell anything and no harm to the fish and corals.
Don't get me wrong now, I know you care about your tank enormously, but from what I read here lately, you are fiddling too much with the tank. Number one rule in marine water aquaristic: Keep your hands out off the tank! Every time you try and catch the fish, it is stress for them.
I would use ozone, lower temperature to around 24 C and feed food supplemented with vitamines. The higher temps helps the Ich spread. Sorry if I sounded harsh and maybe smarty pants now.
Oh my. Fishtank envy has kicked in hard.
Do you not plan on keeping small snails and hermits in the tank for a CUC? Shrimp? anything?
If you do, that trigger is gonna snack on every single one of them.
Juan,
This takes a little time but worked well for me.
rotflmao, that was one pissed tang.
Sorry about the setbacks!

thats exactly how I trapped my trigger too. lol
It was nice meeting with you and had a little chat...
Congrats for the new comers... Really good choices...
Will enjoy pics of all of them, I know you will post some for us... Jejejeje... Or maybe a little video....
I know you are doing your best for all your fish, you have spent a lot of time and money so I guess some times you just have to relax and enjoy, taking risks is something that you just can't avoid some times. Also some desitions will not be the best for everyone but it has to work for you, this will guive you peace of mind.
Enjoy that great system you have!
I love the trigger Juan, I wish you all the best with your new additions whichever way you go. I wish I could offer some advice but fortunately I have no experience with ich. You have invested so much time and money into your great system so hang in there, you will get it sorted.
"There ain't any more fun in this, stressing out and not even getting a good night sleep because of the tank problems is ridiculous."
I know exactly how it feels. I'm very difficult to upset, or even to make remotely unhappy. When my tank had its plague, I smiled not once. It was crazy.
May we all pray to the great and mighty Robzilla on behalf of your fish Juan, and if He hears our prayers, may he spare your fish and force them to thrive and any remaining parasites to die of 1,000 agonies. And it will be good, and many a head of cattle shall be slaughtered. Huzzah!
Dude not fair. That's a lot of pressure! Juan, you have all my powers directed to your tank. I hope my powers are strong enough...you live pretty far away.
Our Rob who art in tank,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in our tanks, as it in filter sumps.
Give us today our daily Calcium.
And forgive us our overfeeding.
As we forgive those hair algae against us.
And lead us not into overdosing,
But deliver us from Phosphate.
For Thine is the Ph,
The power and the glory,
Forever,
Amen
I sure end up in hell, but what the heck ;-)
