Ick, full reef, what to do?
OK, long story short, 75g reef, been fighting the good fight against ich for a month. I had a medium yellow tang (I know, I know), a flame angel, and a small maroon clown. Despite garlic treatments every night (my wife *hated* that smell), they finally succumbed. I fished (no pun intended) the clown out, but the angel and tang disappeared about a week ago – and I mean disappeared, since searches with a flashlight didn’t turn them up. No sign of a body, I assumed my brittle stars, hermit crabs and other cleanup critters took care of them; it’s happened once or twice in the last 8 years, and I haven’t seen negative impacts on my tanks, so I simply let it go. Further investigation would involve ripping apart the tank, which considering the amount of rock and coral, I’m loathe to do. So I’m settling into a 4 week fallow period, and tonight I take a look into the tank after lights out (as I like to do every once in a while) with a flashlight…and lo and behold, there’s the yellow tang.
