Hi all,
We have had our DT about 6 months, have had a few invertebrates and we added the blue tang we had been looking at. She is about 3 inches with a 30 gallon tank to herself. Unfortunately she developed ich and after posting here and getting info from the LFS, we attempted to increase her immune system with Herbtana, then a 4 week hyposalinty and then a 3 day increased heat treatment with breaks in between. Nothing has worked so it looks like copper treatment may be our only course left. This is our first time dealing with this, so if anyone has done this before or knows the ins and outs of it, any help would be fantastic. We have a spare 30 gallon tank we are setting up as a hospital tank with PVC, but need recommendations for the best copper medicine, any complications to be prepared for and how to get the copper out of her system before putting her back in the DT where we plan on just adding back a couple snails and a starfish. Thanks a million!
