The fish in question is a powder blue tang. I added him and 2 pieces of lr about 1 mon ago. I had a slight ammonia spike of about 5 2 weeks after adding them. I did a 20% water change and the ammonia went away. Tang has had spots for about a week. Started with one or two now this. I don't have a Qt set-up. I have A 30g that has 2 goldfish in it and an empty 10 gallon. I guess I will move the gold fish to the ten gallon and set the 30 gallon for the saltwater fish. I have some floss that is in my protein skimmer. I will use this to seed the tank. I am concerned about the boi- load in the 30 gallon. Do I need to treat all the fish? They don't have any signs of ick?. Can I treat the tang in a 10g for 6-8weeks? Is it to small? I am gonna use hypo. I have some copper but I don't like to use chemicals unless I have to. How will I catch the fish? Will I have to remove the rock? If so, how long can it stay out of the water?
