giambi4343 is on a distinguished road
Default my fish has ich, but was fine before.

today, i just bought new metal halide lighting. it is 320 watt in a 90 GAL tank. before i just had flouresent lighting. before i set up the new metal halide lighting, my flame angel, aurigia butterfly and my pearlscale butterfly were all ich free. when i turned on the new lights, they immediately showed signs of ich on their bodies. i left the moon lightijng on for the night. does anybody have any clue on how this could happen so fast or know why this happens? will they get used to it and learn to adapt to brighter lights? has anybody dealt with this before and have any advice? ANY ADVICE WILL HELP GREATLY!

thanks,
andrew
