Hypo or Copper?

The powder brown is a monster eating machine. All the rest are eating and looking good. Keep going with the program!

Is there something I could/should add for the ammonia burn?

A methyline Blue dip could be useful to him.

Just a about a week after adding the fish back it seems they have ich again. I can't believe it.

Oh no. Are you sure?

 

[bif24701]

Yea, pretty sure. Both the CCB and the Blue Tang

 

[bif24701]

I'll try to get a picture

 

[bif24701]

The dots on and around her top.

She like to lay next to one of my acros and the wave actions pushes her against it, those look totally different and are on her lower part.

The CCB has been hiding and darting today, also shows visible spots on body and a few find.

I saw the tang scratching yesterday.

Still can not believe it.

Dangit! :mad: I'm real sorry man. Possible causes: Cross contamination, improper fallow period, aerosol transmission, adding a coral or invert during the fallow period without QT. Just off the top of my head.

I'm really sorry to hear this. I know you've been thru a lot with these fish.

 

[bif24701]

It's a tough one to swallow:

 

[bif24701]

I'm not sure I can break down the whole display to catch them

 

[melypr1985]

I'm not sure I can break down the whole display to catch them

It would be too easy for me to "sure you can!" from my computer, but I've done the breakdown and treat thing so I know how hard that is to do. Instead I'm just going to ask you a question: Do you want to just live with it, manage the situation at this point? Do you want it out completely no matter what? I probably know the answer already, but depending on your gut reaction, you'll know the answer too.

 

[bif24701]

I guess I'm going to try and remove what fish I can with out a struggle and hope I can get them all.

 

[bif24701]

I think that it must have been some zoas I added. I feel completely useless. I dipped them in Bayer but that doesn't cut it....

Do you think the Tangs can live with it? I don't know anyone in my area that has gone the lengths I have to QT and get rid of things like this but all their tangs look awesome. I can not fathom them not having ich in the systems.

 

[bif24701]

If I could manage it, I would rather do that. This whole catching and treating has killed more fish for me than just letting them be.

I don't remember the tangs you have, but there are some that are more likely to live with it (zebrasoma) than others (acanthurus). I admire all you have done to this point. It's a lot of work for the health of your fish.
