My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
I hope your fish recover! And thats insane about the light. Bad days pass even though it feels like one hit after another! It will pass even if it feels like a lifetime!If you’re wondering why the title, I’ve had my worst month in the hobby so far;
unfortunately my tank went downhill this last week. First my lights melted (I was close to a fire but caught it in time). Then my steriliser wasn’t doing it’s job and ich took hold, so now two of my oldest fish (a 4.5 year old Foxface and a 3 year old Tang) have wound up being hit with ich. They seem to be alright at the moment but its only been a few days and know that it will likely just get worse before it gets better. But I am persevering and trying to combat ich the natural way - Boosting the food and putting in a cleaner wrasse to boost my cleaner shrimp. One a plus side I now have radions on my reef
Here’s a photo of the light and my tang with ich.
Ps as Dory says, just keep swimming!
