New Reefer stupid question

[BP[_2_]]

So I took my girlfriends Fish Only salt tank of 7 years and upgraded.
Added a UV Steralizer, Skimmer, New light hood with T5-40's from
Marineland, changed the crushed coral to white Fiji sand, then added
75 lbs of live rock...let it settle for 2 weeks, then added about 8 or
9 different kinds of coral...awesome.

let it settle for 2-3 more weeks...bought a Blue "Dorry" fish...added
to the tank...which previously held like 3 fish...a Damsel and an
Orange Shoulder Tang, and 6 line wrasse...Bomb, Dorry has ick.

So I bough a cleaner wrasse...six line hated him, so I caught him, and
put him in a betta tank in my main tank for 2 days...let him out, and
he's exhibited no hostility toward the cleaner...he at one point was
catching the cleaner and dragging it across the tank to smash it into
the glass...bloody fins and all...relentless.

So I drop my salinity to 1.017, over 2 days, cause I don't want to
kill my coral, and a hospital tank won't hold all the fish coral etc.
Its been 1 week and half, and six line had ich for all of about 6 hrs,
no other fish has had ich, but Dorry...well she gets better then she
gets worse, and back and forth...I'm sick of this fish....short of
flushing is there anything else I should be doing?

I wash the walls down everyday with a fresh piece of filter media.
I've been doing small water changes.
I replaced my UV steralizer bulb.
I add slime coat stuff.

Please help...this topic is so varied in opinions...

Tossing is the new and improved way to dispose of fish. Flushing is
old school. Did you ever hear of QT before putting fish into a display
tank dude. Thats fishkeeping basics 101. So it sounds like you did
not upgrade your girlfriends tank as much as you ****ed it up!

Tangs are strong fish - they can usually survive ich without treatment.
If you see only couple white spots fish will be fine with good feeding and
no additional stress. Are the spots all over the fish or just couple of
them?

For future you need to use hospital/quarantine tank BEFORE
you put new fish in the main tank. Quarantine tank is for the
new fish to observe it before placing it in the tank.

For me best for ich was the cleaner shrimp (like skunk shrimp).
Not sure if your fish you currently have will tolerate shrimp fine
or will they bother it too much... BTW - cleaner shrimps fare
best when there is a pair of them (two of the same species).

Yep you betcha TYNK, GILL JAN, REV SCHOMPERT, GALEN, DEREK, and
multitudes of others that liked to stir the pot and beat feet and
leave, only to come back and stir it some more. Me, I'm in it till the
end, so get over it. But the top one perhaps is WAYNE SALLEE the wanna
be know it all butt hole. By the way are you his retarded brother Mr.
Asswipe? I bet your both related to each other by incest. Now take a
hike and get on with your curb crawling in order to support your
family and buy them some xmas crap

No, I do not think he has hung around...

You have missed one thing... even if the original poster will not find
my answer, somebody else might be looking for the same problem
on the internet and can find now the original question AND the answer.

Unfortunatelly he/she can also find your words, which are completely
useless. Why do you even bother sending them here?

Get a clue dickhead.USENET groups are a dying thing of the past and
forums rule. Still replying to your old posts like y ou do will get
you nothing. You can blame all those assholes that used to be here and
the know it all Sallee who did more to ensure this group died than any
troll.
