With your advanced knowledge of reef tanks, you choose to come in here and
berate those who are in the learning process of this hobby. Tell me
genius,
do feel superior pointing out the shorting comings of others or you just
get
off acting like a ****ing asshole?

He gets off acting like an ass! It makes him feel superior for the moment.
He pulls the same **** on the other aquarium groups and the pond group,
destroying and disrupting one group after another. The man was in treatment
at the VA in AL but wont stay on his meds. This is the result.

Roy "Tristan" Hauer doesn't even have a HS diploma, is semi-literate, yet
belittles and puts down everyone in his quest to build himself up into
something he'll never be.... sad really.

White or black ich? (I ask, because black ich is quite
common in tangs - not in most other fish)


White. About 20 white spots randomly spread over his body.

MIGHT work. I had one tang that refused to beleive a Lysmata
wurdermanni was not actually a Lysmata amboinensis. Kept going up
to
it like he expected a cleaning. Poor shrimp had no idea what was
expected of him.
Not I have the opposite - new tang, new peppermint shrimp -
peppermint
shrip actually wants to pick at the tang, and the Tang wants no
part
of it - but DOES let my skunk cleaner clean him.


So peppermints are not as good, right?

Depends on the individual. Some peppermints will do just as good a
job,
but most won't do any cleaning (YMMV)

OK. So, the ich is small white spots. Sounds like cryptocaryon.

So, hate to tell ya, the CORRECT treatment is this-

take ALL fish out of the tank for 1-2 months. Take the infected fish,
give it a dip in freshwater buffered to PH to match tank water, with
formalin and copper sulfate added. I usually add some methe;yne blue
to
help boost oxygen, since it is also an anti paraiste and won't hurt.
After the dip (dip for about 7-10 minutes) put fish in a seperate
tank
and continue treatment with copper sulfate until all symptoms are
gone.

Alternate if you just plain can't take all the fish out for a month
or
two:

treat sick fish with dip as above, and add garlic to main tank and
cross
yer fingers that fish does not get re-infected.

I have also had good luck with Chem Marin's "Stop Parisite" product.
Dunno if it was merely a placebo effect or not (ie: I had kille dthe
ich
without it anyway) but I did option #2 above, and then added this
stuff,
and the problem was resolved.
