I bought a velvet dottieback and a regal tang last month and they have been in a QT tank since I bought them. Ionly saw a couple of spots on the regal a couple of days after I got it home. Since that time they both have been doing great. however I came home tonight to find my regal covered with white spots. Im positive its ICK for sure this time.
SO I tested all of my levels and all are 0, PH around 8-8.2. Temp 81-82. Do water changes of 3-4 gallons per week. Running bio wheel and no substrate. Also this is a 20 gallon
So I bought the Cupramine and Seachems test kit. My question is: who the heck said this cupramine was easy to use per the instructions? The instructions dont say a ^*&%^( thing!
1)It says to does the first day at 1 ML then wait 48 hours. Then is says to treat .5 ML per gallon...is this every day?
2)Also what do I measure for with the test kit? Should I keep it at .5 and no higher than .6?
3) Do I treat both the dottieback and regal since they are in the same QT tank?
Anything else I need to know? Has very many people had success with this?
