Quite a few people think fishes naturally catch ich when they are stressed, especially for some kinds of fishes such as tangs. My understanding and personal experience leads me to conclude otherwise. Ich is usually introduced into a tank from an external infected source, such as fishes or live rocks. They are parasites that live under the skin of fishes and reproduce quickly. Try reading up... too much info to post here but the point is that once they appear in your tank, they are going to be your worst nightmare. No amount of garlic is going to help your fishes fend off their relentless attacks - it may help reduce the symptoms but it sure doesn't solve the root of the problem which is that they exist in your tank. The only true long-term solution and the best one for your fishes' health and your own sanity is to totally rid your aquarium of ich once and for all, and to prevent any infected sources being introduced again. What I did to finally have an ich-free tank: 1. Net out all the fishes into a separate quarantine tank. 2. Leave the main tank fishless for 3 months. The ich eventually dies without any fishes to host on. Corals and inverts are ok. 3. Do whatever you need to cure the infected fishes in quarantine, either with medication or hypo-salinity. I tried hypo-salinity but that killed 90% of my fishes due to my lack of experience maintaining the water quality in a hypo-salinity state. Skimmers don't work in hypo-salinity. 4. After 3 months, re-introduce fishes into the main tank, but only when you are sure they are not infected, usually by observing them for a couple of weeks in quarantine.

You can try iwarna. Got my replacements for 6hf and 20hf there not too long ago. Auntie was nice enough to allow removing the impeller from new retail units. Otherwise, the distributor for rio pumps is a farm at LCK, can't remember exactly the name...

I have quite a bit to be harvested. Collect at or near Tanah Merah MRT. $5 per tub. Let me know if you are interested so I can prepare the quantity you need. Thx.

The screen size is pretty big - 620mm x 500mm, and it was sandpapered before use. As for the ideal light intensity, unfortunately my sump can't take too much heat due to its poor ventilation.

Hi all, My own little algae scrubber project inspired by Santa Monica's pioneering work. Specs as follows: - lit by 4 waterproof led strips (3xred, 1xblue) each consuming approximately 4 watts. - mesh dimensions: 620mm x 500mm (WxH). - easily detachable for maintenance. - secondary outlet for water redirection during washing or maintenance. - constructed entirely with off-the-shelf parts, e.g. pvc pipes, joints and valves, wire mesh, cable ties, s-hooks, flexible wire conduits, led strips(bought online). Most of these parts with the exception of the leds can be purchased at your nearest neighbourhood hardware store. The leds can be purchased from Sim Lim Tower if you don't mind paying a little more for them. Total cost less than S$100 with bulk attributed to led strips. - entire overflow(~3000 l/hr) from display tank(3'x2'x2') passes gravitationally through this scrubber. - leds are on 16 hours a day. Not much algae as yet since this is only day 1. Not sure how well it will work but it sure looks pretty! Haha Possible issues to be considered: - clogging at the slit by detritus and algae. But since regular maintenance (such as scraping the algae buildup and flushing the conduit) will be done, shouldn't be much of an issue. - leds are not intense enough or are of ineffective spectrums. All comments are welcome.

Just discovered they are called vermetid snails.

I've got this problem too, but a much bigger bigger one with hundreds of them all over my tank, even on my wavemaker. What are they called by the way?
