Ich problem, questions?

[Ron]

Everything was going great till last night. He was eating really well and looked good. Then, yesterday I guess we had a bacteria bloom of some kind. Started getting some white dusting on the glass. I did a twenty percent water change. By last night he was going down fast. Breathing heavy and panicking. Dead this morning. The water is milky white and can't see to the back glass.

Any ideas?

And thanks again everybody for the help. Maybe better luck next time.

Did you buffer the tank with something? Sorry about your loss glad you had a QT tank so not to mess up your DT. One thing I have done with angels is before they go into QT they get acclimated to the QT tank water and then they go into fresh water where I use tap water with the chlorine taken out, temp the same as QT tank and PH for 20 minutes. It sounds very harsh but so far I have not lost a one (9 angelfish so far) that doesn't mean there will be a first but I feel much better knowing the freshwater dip kills a bunch of stuff before my fish goes into QT.
