hi guy im Nadi Mian , and my this channel is all about marine tanks
so if you love marine tanks like i do

first of all , what is marine ich
or the white spots appears on a fish what is that
folks ! its a parasite
in hindi or udru its called PARJUE
its a kind of parasite
which enters in skin of a fish
and bite it and feed on that
sucks blood kind of thing
and because of that whit spots appears on body of a fish
these are calle dwhite spots
also known as marine ich
and this is a disease
one more disease which is quite smilar to this is marine velvet
velvet is very much the same as ich but velvet is very fast killer
and your fish will die in hours
the parasite of marine ich
if it dont get a fish in 60 days
it will die of hunger
so we have to keep our main tank fishless for 60 days at least
so that this parasite
that dies and eliminate
so lets talk about if fish got marine ich
how to treat it
for this you haveto take outall the fish
and you have to setup a hospital tank
in main tank we cant
treat the fish becuase
main tank has rocks
if we will put medecine in there
rocks will absorb that medecine
and its a;so possible that those rocks will leach
the medecine back into the water
and the second reason is
your main tank has invertibrates like snails and shrimps
and corals or anemones
these all will die because of copper
thats why we cant do ich trearment in main tank
so lets talk about how to setup a hospital tank
that first of all take a container
you can use any thing like a glass aquarium
or any tube of container
which is reef safe or fish safe
make a marine tank in thare
fristly put some sand in the tank very very small amount
and after that
setup a filter
which filters can be used
no.1 hang on back filter can be used
no.2 you can use a canister filter also
but take out carbon and ceramic media out of
your canister
just put a sponge or polyfilter
so it will do mechanical filtration
and wash it (polyfiltyer ) every third day or change it
when you will setup your yank
put some water from your main tank
to introduce atleast some amount of benefical bacteria
if for example you started with freshly mixed water
and you didnt used water from your main tank
the you some sort to benefical bacteria the botteld bacteria like the
like API QUICK START ,
or MICROBACTER7
and just like that there are some other also like turbo start
you can use these kind of products
and salinity of your tank
keep it some what about 1.020
can also be kept at .023 or .026
this is only in this way of treatment
salinity doesn't matter
but because it's fish omly
if you will keep it at 1.020 it will work
when you put fish in your tank put some pieces of pvc pipe
or a flower pot which
you have never used for plants or soil
it will provide hiding space to your fish
after that
put a heater and set it at 30
temprature of your tank needs to be at 30 degree celcius
and then
enter your fish in your tank
these are the fish lets put them in
and at the end i forgot to tell something
must cover it
there is a big chance of fish jumping out of tank
because when we do copper treatment
fish feels iritation
so the fish tries to jump out of tank
so must cover your tamk
wave maker is optional put it if you want
lets talk about medication'
which medecine can be used
the one im using is odimor
4ml in 100 liters
im putting 3 ml in this tank
and then on the day after tommorrow i will put 1.5ml
and after a day of break means on 5th day of treatment i will again put 1.5 ml
and on 7th day i will do 50% water change
and afyer changing 50% of water i will again put 3 ml of the same medecine
this treatment will take 2 weeks
almost 14-15 days
after that when the ich will totally illiminated out of these fish
you can not put this fish back into your main tank
because your main tank still has ich in it
if you will put your fish back into your tank
your fish will get the ich again
what to now is
do a 50% water change , dont put any copper
and take your canister filter and fill it with'
ceramic rings
put a little amount of rocks in your tank so it some biological filtration
which medicines can be used in marine ich?
the one which was available here
and it was very expensive
this is a product of germany
this is called ODIMOR i ahve already used itgfor 3 times
and once again now
and there is an other by seachem
cupramine
or cupramean what ever you pronounce it
thats also famous one
the methyelblue
that will not work on white spots
no.2
some people says that feed galric smeeled food
and it will kill ich ,its a myth
its like
fish become imune to this disease
and ich doesn't appear for some time
as you the temprature of water decrease
ich comes back
so ich doesn't die because of garlic
it just weakens and hide
now talk about
the method to
to prvent your tank from ich so it never comesd back
firstly you have kept your tank empty for sixty days
and you are putting the fish in therer which dont have ich on them
what you have to do is
when ever you get a new fish
the quarantine tank the hospital tank you have
set it up
cycle it before you get the fish
put your fish in that
and observe
thst
it has or not white spots on it
if yes , start copper treatment right there
if it dont have white spotts
after 2-3 weeks
introduce it to your main tank
this way you will never
never
ich will not hit
if this is the case they why my tank got ich
ich in my tank came from
i bought from a local shop
torch coral
which was sitting in a tank with fish
may be it came from there
and at first
butterfly fish died
and then 2nd butterfly died
and i stopped it right there
and given treatment to it
