Good morning fellow reefers.
I recently purchased a yellow tang and a fox face from a fellow reefer. I have a new tank set up that’s been cycling for a few months- no other fish. Bad mistake- I decided to add them here without QT or Observation After a few days I noticed little black dots on the fox face. Last night I noticed what appears to be ICK also on both fish. It’s hard to see against the yellow color- but if you get a look down the side of the fish you can see a lot of little bumps-
no corals, only a few inverts ( one hermits, two snails)
I have treated tank with Prazipro, and I’m considering doing hyposalinity to the main tanks. It’s 120gal + sump. I’m guessing 150 gal total volume.
other option is to remove fish and treat in QT and go fallow. Tang and fox face are full Grown- all I have are ten gallon tanks for qt.
Would the ten gallon be way too small for a 8” fox face or a 6” yellow tang?
I have never done hypo. In the main tank I don’t have a ATO yet, so trying to pick one up this weekend so if I do do hypo I think I’ll need this for sure to keep salinity stable.
any thoughts in large fish in small 10 gal qt?
Seems very small to me, should I find a larger tank? Would a 29 gal Petco tank work?
here’s a photo for size. Can’t see the ick or flukes In This photo, but just for size reference.
