Ick

Lost the Powder Brown and Clown to ick.

Things I learned:

• Even though everyone seems to put fish in their tanks on day one quarantine them anyway because even if you lose your fist few fish ick can infest your tank for months. So No adding anything for a few months.
• Put a Skunk shrimp in before you add tangs
• Chromis seem to be pretty hardy and were my only fish to not get any ick
• Yellow tang did get hit pretty hard but the shrimp cleared off most of the white spots
• The powder brown got infested 3+ weeks after bringing him home. I think the cleaner shrimp would have taken care of things if it was in there first.
• Lowering the salinity by adding RO water didn't work for me, after 3 days the Powder Brown died in a 10 Gal quarantine

The skimmer was falling apart because I connected the pump wrong, due to the lack of instructions that I wouldn't have read anyway. That may have cause parts of the ick and the brown algae, but now that i reconnected it, what I am assuming is the correct way the algae is clearing up and I get more bubbles in the skimmer.
