@juicemanatx Can we get more photos of the fish from a few different angles? Something is not quite right here...

You have been topping off the tank with fresh water daily I'm assuming this could lower cu levels also have you been testing cu daily ? If it were me I would dose your top off water and do a WC daily with water that has been pre dosed with cu.
OK that looks a lot like what I've been dealing with. The working theory is that it's either copper resistant velvet or Brook. I switched copper brands and added metroplex to the mix
I think we can rule out the Brook.
I think that's a skin reaction to copper. See below:
Hmm..... like my copper is too high?
My pet theory is it's some sort of adverse skin reaction certain fish have to prolonged copper exposure. Best case example is here (but thanks to Photobucket all the pics are now gone): http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2440449
I've seen it many times since, primarily on tangs. The "trifecta" (Kanaplex, Furan-2, Metroplex) will sometimes clear it, but that could just be a coincidence.
I would, for 10 days.
Like dose how often over 10 days?
That's so odd -- still looks like ich to me but I can't understand how. Is the fish's behavior changing at all? Is it breathing heavily still?4 days into triple Antibiotic, doesn't appear any better.
Now he just looks dusty.... should I switch copper brands since this isn't doing anything?
