How long has he been in the tank?
Did you just put him in today?

I know when I added my clown at the beginning of the week he looked pale (probably shipping stress and just being the on in a large tank! From a small bag stress)

I would say watch him and his behavior feed him a well varied diet.

Hey I just found out the blue tang has ICH and I’m treating the tank with copper power ( a product ) and was wondering what level is therapeutic to treat the ICH

Copper can’t go into your display tank .....

Are you positive of the diagnosis? You will have issues dosing your main tank with copper since you have coral rock in the tank. It will also be toxic to any invertebrates in the tank.
Copper Power is dosed as per the label instructions to the exact volume of your tank (actual water volume, not it’s rated capacity). With a hanna meter or a good test kit, that works out to a 2 ppm dose.

Yes I’m positive and the rock is dry rock which I put in a week ago

May I ask why

 

[Rmckoy]

May I ask why

It will leach out over time , and being toxic to inverts .

a qt is generally smaller volume , doesn’t have sand and rocks ,
Easier to concentrate the proper dose .

May I ask why

Too late ?

the rock and substrate will hold copper for 1.

 

[jettpeterson]

the rock and substrate will hold copper for one

 

[jettpeterson]

What can I do about that when I’m done treating the copper

[fishguy242]

have you added copper already?

 

[Rmckoy]

What can I do about this

Remove the rocks ..
not sure if curing , soaking in bleach will clean the copper out .
This is what scares me about buying used rocks online .
