Whitespot
Hi everyone.
A recent unannounced rental property had to get it living room carpet changed due to some water damage, unfortunately my 3x2x2 reef was in the way. 12 hours of toil later I had all back together with a pretty new aqua scape. All good until yesterday when I spotted what I know as white spot or Ich on just about all my fish. I have two clowns, a clown tang, bi-Blenn, flame angel all showing real signs of this parasite. Also in the tank are shrimps and clams.
Any advise on how to curb the damage? Free loosing all my fish on startup of this tank right months ago I slowly started stocking one fish every two months. They'd show slight signs of spot for a week or so and then never again. Only the newly added fish always showed signs.
I understand ich is in my tank and always will be. Running a UV for seven months now clearly did not remove all the parasite from my system.
I need help! Do not want to have another wipe of my tank as I did last time due to stocking too quickly and possibly bringing an infected Fuad home.
Does light duration decrease the attack caused by ich?
Is there any medicine that would be reef safe?
What about the shrimp? Is he safe from any medication that claims to be reef safe?
I know this discussion has been around but I can't believe there isn't a golden cure for this common problem.
Thanks guys! Appreciate the time.
