Okay...I've introduced myself on the newbie forum, but I need help with this, so I figured I should post here asap....
I'll start at the begining,
I've got a 55 (US) gallon saltwater tank....
it came in a marineland kit with filter....test kit...heater...salt....
I've added liverock and gravel...tested regualrly had mini cycle, now amonia is 0
the tank has been set up for about a month and a half now...
I've added a pair of clowns, 2 tang (yellow, other can't remember atmo)
1 chocolate chip starfish
3 yellow tail damsels
and a goby of some sort....
Now, these fish were not added all at the same time...
I still do weekly water changes with saltwater and declor...
I noticed ICH spots on the back fin of my cawfish...and then on my 2 clowns...
I've fed them garlic soaked food, and the spots on one of my clowns have gone, but the cawfish is still effected, Sadly the other clown passed away today...
no other fish seem effected.....
I've tested the PH, but it was rather low...7.8, the lowest on the scale....
I purchased some Seachem Marine Buffer....but I've not added it as of yet, I don't want to further stress the fish....
I've added an airstone for further water movement and will follow this in several hours with another PH test....I was told it could regulate PH...
also, I use Instant Ocean sea salt....
Thanks in advance!!!
