I'm running my GFO off my return pump. I made a manifold for it. Take a look. Kinda hard to tell from the pic, but the flow goes thru the manifold and I adjust the valve for the amount of water I want entering the reactor.

Yeah this may be my only option unfortunately :/ I guess I'll see how this goes for a lil while and go from there. And if my gf allows it, maybe I'll set up a qt tank in her office upstairs, this way its out of the way and it won't be on the floor.

Let's say I let this tank run its course. If all the fish died and I let the tank sit for a several weeks, that would kill the ICH right? Or would I have to do something else to the tank? Now let's say I let it run its course and some of the fish died and some lived and looked healthy. ICH...

And that's what I was planning on doing but not sure if it'll help.

No I understand that, that's what I meant by leaving them in a hospital tank for 5-6 weeks. I can already hear my gf yelling at me

Yeah I just read about that. Ugh I'm really about to just let it run its course, I cant have a 40B on the floor for 5-6 weeks with 2 cats running around getting curious. Plus catching all these fish? I mind as well take out all my rock AGAIN. This sucks.

I have a aqueon HOB filter BNIB so I'll just use that, thanks anyways man.

Okay well it looks like I'm gonna try the 40 breeder hospital tank. How do I go about setting this up? Never had to before, what do I need? Can I use old tank water to fill up the hospital tank? What specific medication should I get? Temp? Salinity? Sorry for all the questions

Oh really? Didn't know that. Well then yeah I'd like to borrow it Dan, does anyone know how long the curing process is?

I'd be putting copper in it tho so you'd have no use for it other than a QT tank

I thought about a tote bc I have several lying around but they're not too sturdy, more water, more flex. Plus how long does the cure process take?

To add directly to a reef tank? Everything I've read about will kill inverts and hurt live rock

I dont have another tank to use and I certainly can't go out and buy one that'll suit them all. My tangs will kill each other

Well I have my first casualty. My bicolor blenny is dead and it looks like my PBT might be next. Seems he has developed more spots over night. He's still swimming around okay tho so that's a good thing

Does anyone know if ICH stands out more under blue lights?

Okay so going off that article, they recommend soaking food in garlic and feeding normally and just making sure not to stress out the fish anymore. Which is what I was planning on doing any ways. I guess if things start to get worse, I'll go another route, until then, its garlic and food :)

Not really, they all seem normal right now. My powder blue tang has been swimming around the same area but other than that, nothing out of the ordinary. They definitely have white specks tho

Anyone have any experience or know what I should be looking out for? Patterns? Behaviors? Etc?

No idea. Just noticed my yellow tang and my bicolor blenny look like they have quite a bit of white specks on em... Not sure if its definitely ICH but its my only guess :(

Well.... I think... I have ICH....
