So I'm pretty much screwed I think. I have a 150gallon reef tank that's been running great! Coming up on a year now. I have 2 ocellaris clowns, diamond goby, lawnmower blenny, royal gramma, convict tang, blue hippo tang, blonde naso tang, and a powder brown tang. Just bought paired fire wrasses and a fairy wrasse. All 3 had been in store for while, eating, doing well. Getting along great in my tank with other members. Everybody eating and playing well. 2 weeks later in my tank I noticed powder brown with a white spot, but didn't look like ich to me. Went away for 5 days (have a fish sitter that feeds them but doesn't know much more about a tank). When I came back...more white spots on my powder brown. Then my blue hippo came out from behind her rock and looked like she had a cocaine problem!! White all over. Assuming this is ich? If it were velvet my whole tank should have been dead when I got back right?
So here's my problem...I have no QT. Well, I have no QT set up. I have a 20 gallon tank that's never been used. I would like to do hyposalinity but how am I going to get all these fish into 20 gallons? My tangs are not that big but still a dozen fish in 20 gallons? Started treating flagyl in my frozen mysis shrimp, everybody gobbling it up, luckily. So far nobody seems to be acting funny or sick. I have noticed minimal spots on blonde naso and gramma.
I still consider myself extremely new to this hobby. Any quick advice on how to set up this QT tank and what size you recommend and filters and aerators and light I need in it will be helpful.
