Three days of using the med and the Hippo looks so much better. Just a few spots on the face. I will probably stop now and turn the skimmer back on tomorrow.
Sounds good to me. I have 3 rules when setting my lights.
1 - Ensure inhabitants are getting enough light to survive.
2 - Ensure not to much light so it doesn't cause algae issues.
3 - The lights are on when I am home to enjoy the tank.
When I had MH and VHO they would all be on at the same time but staggered. So in morning VHO came on first 30mins later MH. At night MH went off first and 30mins later VHO went off. Hope that helps.
Tony, thanks for the info. I do feel that garlic entices the fish to eat which in turn will help fight the disease. Riht now its still eating like a pig.
I purchased Ich-Attack. I went with a 40g dosage as last time I used this product I think I over dosed. I estimated 80g total volume and went with half. 75g DT and 30g sump, with LR, sand coral displacement and 15g on sump. The fish seems fine so went with a low dosage to start with. I am also...
Thanks guys. I don't think it was due to poor water quality as I have been all over the tank lately. I really think the sand stressed out the fish. There was sand on the K3's which I turned off and left in while these new pumps were going. Going out to the store and pick up some medicine now.

Until I get some type of controller I took one pump out of the system for now. I placed the other in the middle back glass pointing in opposite directions.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the two pumps caused some irritation on my hippo tang. Looks like little air bubbles or sand on its body...
