What size qt tank am I getting.

Can't stand to see the fish like this .... Catching them is going to suck.

Reasonably keep all these tangs together in a 40-90g?

I can get PVC and filter hob, heater

 

[Nate Chalk]

Have so many fish ...

Cleaner Gobies can be in a 10 gallon tank fairly easily, especially if only for QT.

 

[Nate Chalk]

The thought of trying to get the damsels and chromis out.

 

[tbrown]

I haven't QTed any of mine, but that can be asking for trouble.

Fo Ich what's the cure? Copper or Hyposalinity?

 

[tbrown]

Looks like copper. Hyposalinity and increased temperature is for freshwater.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Curious what @fishguy242 would do.

Couple of tangs fighting ich off.

Not terrible, but definitely look ichy
Purple, Blue hippo, Achilles
Foxface

Fine:
Orange shoulder
Tomini
Rest of fish fine. Chromis, damsels, angelfish anthias , puffer , CBB, wrasse
