    Co2 + O2

    Helllppppppppppp

    Sounds like White Spot(ICH). Read this LINK to see if the symptons are the same and then you need to get some Methylene Blue to add to your tank along with raising the temp slightly. I am not an expert but had this problem before and it worked. Hope someone with more experience out there can...
