I think I'm having the same problem... only I don't have fuzzy at the bottom of my tank. It looks like my fish are covered in salt. Today is the first time I noticed it (although I'm almost 100% positive that it wasn't there yesterday). Do you think this is ich? My Russell's Lionfish refuses to eat (which is incredibly not like him) as well as my snowflake eel. They both look really depressed. If anyone has any suggestions I'm wide open. About two days ago I got home and my temp. was about 82 (really high for my fish), one of my heaters went wack, since then I have regulated the temp and now it is fine... do you think this might have caused the problem. Below is the details of my tank:
55 gal. 3 1/2" to 4" sand base
1- Russell's Lionfish
1- snowflake eel (small about 8-9" long)
1- Yellow Tang
2- Percula Clown Fish
1- Feather Duster
1- Long Tentacle Anemone
The tank was started back in Jun 07, thus far everything was running great...
My Levels:
nitrate- 20 (I'm doing a water change as I'm typing this)
nitrite- 0
Ammonia- 0
Ph- 8.2- 8.3
salinity- 1.025
Temp- 76 F
