Aquarium Advice FINatic
I recently posted a thread regarding fish dying and they were dropping like flies. I lost about 8 wreckfish or anthias and 3 different tangs. It all started when I added the powder blue and she got ich so bad and spread it onto the other fish. Strangely the anthias didn't show any sign of ich neither did the copperband butterfly. We went over how I added too many fish too soon which I fully understand now and know I made a mistake by doing so.
I also squired some free live rock which had all sorts of growth on it and I'm convinced this helped wipe out over half my population of fish.
The 2 clowns I've had for a long time now have very bad ich and so does my regal tang. The tang has had it in the past however only mild cases and fought it off everytime. I've just returned home today to find a dead cleaner shrimp and I haven't seen the copperband in a couple of days either.
I'm planning on a freshwater dip for the clowns and maybe the tang. Currently setting up the water.
I did a 25% water change on Saturday.
Parameters are,
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0
Salinity 1.026
Phosphate 0.36
Nitrate 7-9
I want to treat all the fish for white spot however I'm concerned if I set up a new tank and have to wait for it to cycle I may loose the fish. Is there a quicker way of QT'ING the fish and starting the treatment? Copper or hypo?
