Ok thanks for the info

Might aswell take a sample of your tank water to the lfs to be tested, tell them to write the readings down for you.
I would advise investing in master liquid test kits of your own.
Good luck.

stiffler, since you said that it did indeed look like grains of salt, then that is almost assuredly ich.

I just to re-endorse this link: [URL="http/www.skepticalaquarist.com/docs/health/ich.shtml"]http/www.skepticalaquarist.com/docs/health/ich.shtml[/URL] (no, I'm not the author, I just think that it is the most complete and comprehensive article on ich and how to treat it there is on the Internet today)

It will inform you all about ich and how to defeat it. Ich isn't like a lot of other common parasites -- It is only vulnerable during a very small percentage of its life cycle, so you have to catch it at the right time. You have to medicate long after the spots are gone to make sure that every ich organism in the tank has gone through all of its life cycles, including the vulnerable one, and was thus killed by the medication still in the tank. All of this really good info is in that link.

Please read it, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
