well it looks like i will be waiting 8 weeks to add any new fish as i had to catch my fish and stick them in quarintine. i guess the ich wasnt all gone so i gave my fish a 5 minute freshwater dip in the medication then added them to quarentine wich i filled with water from the display. i then added the correct amount of medication water is blue again and they will be living in there for 8 weeks now. the only fish i couldnt cath was my royal dottyback. hate that guy too small and fast i will be feeding him from the net to help make it easier to catch him. i will also be feeding with garlic soaked food and am getting my 2 cleaner shrimp sometime this week. other then that major disapointment everything is good i got a torch coral a few days ago and it is loving my lights my hammer coral is groing everyday and my mushrooms are neon. my zoas are showing colors they have never shown before and my kenya tree is getting bigger everyday. its a sad day in my aquarium career

ok so after my novice reefer mistake of thinkin the medication can cure ich over a week sucks i now have all my fish in a 5 gallon qt and they will stay there medicated for ive been told at least a month so that the main tank can get rid of the ich in it. is that long enough and i also purchased my 2 cleaner shrimp today there transition into the main tank was flawless as well as 5 more snail and hermits( i have been having alot of browny green hair like algea lately and was figuring its due to the rocks i bought having it on them and no skimmer on that tank yet and i hadnt done a water change in like 2 weeks so i will be doing a couple water changes over this week to help with that. now that i have a large tank im thinkig of using vodka dosing or something just a thought. any suggestions on how best to get rid of this algea other then get a tang lol i have one and he would e a fatty but ich is still there
