Can I put metro in the tank before the salinity is back up ?
FWIW; it's never "ideal" to mix meds/treatments. But sometimes you just have no other choice, and it becomes the "lesser of two evils" compared to letting a fish go untreated.
Long story short I think everyone has ich went to two stores both sold out so I got the Cupramine copper and I am just wodering if I could give the one who is showing issues at the least a copper bath in some of the water from the tank ? Or just start dosing as I said earlier the clown still looks good I am just trying to make sure I am doing everything the best way possible given the situation.
So I am just wondering is there a reason I have to wait until the salinity of the water is at a certain point ? I was able to get the

Symptoms – This is most often seen in clownfish, but it can afflict any fish. The fish’s skin will appear to be peeling or sloughing off, oftentimes causing excessive white mucous to form around the affected area(s).
Treatment options - Formalin bath, followed by additional formalin baths (as needed - but give the fish a day to recuperate in-between baths). You can use formalin in a QT (at a much lower concentration than the bath), but great care must be taken to provide plenty of gas exchange as formalin will quickly deplete the water of oxygen. For this reason, doing baths is the safer option as the fish can be pulled from the formalin if showing signs of distress.Formalin-MS is preferred, as that contains 37% formaldehyde. However, in a bind, any medication containing formalin (ex. Quick Cure) is better than nothing. Alternative treatments for brook include metronidazole (ex. Seachem Metronidazole) and acriflavine (ex. Acriflavine-MS). A freshwater dip may provide temporary relief if you are unable to locate any of the aforementioned medications right away.
Humble just so you know the fish in # 7 is the bluereef I lost. the last two pics posted are the only fish left. I will start to do the baths tomorrow. If the clown isn't showing signs of it should he be bathed as well. This guy has no spots on him or peeling of any kind.
