So it happened, over 15 years in the hobby I have become victim of an entire system ick outbreak. Not sure where it came from, (no new fish were added)how it happened or even how it escalated so fast but in less than a week I lost nearly everything. I’m not even gonna try to figure out what or how it happened, what’s done is done. I’m sick to my stomach over it. I don’t even know what I want to do now. Take it down… start over… if so do I gotta bleach all my rocks, get rid of my sand?? Idk…
But the option to take a break from saltwater and try freshwater did enter my mind. I haven’t tried freshwater since I did piranhas in a 55 gallon tank 15ish years ago. I’m very much out of the loop as far as freshwater goes, the care that is required, and the general overall maintenance.
I’m looking for opinions on freshwater cichlids tanks, or just general overall opinions.
