 | ICH Cause |
tetratech  Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 4241 Kudos: 1074 Registered: 04-Nov-2003   | Besides temp. fluctations, what's the most likely cause of ich. I have a disease free tank other than ich about 4 months ago when I forgot to plug the heater back in, but right now my cardinals have ich and I'm not sure what could have caused it. My Scapes |

| tetratech Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 4241 Kudos: 1074 Registered: 04-Nov-2003 | I think I fiqured out my problem. Pretty big rise in ph, due to low co2 output. I guess another reason to go pressurized. My Scapes |
