I've had a yellow tang in QT that I bought 2 weeks ago. I set up the 29 gallon QT tank a month previously and uses some media from my main DT to help along the cycle. I added food and tested every day. The initial ammonia spike happened then every thing seemed to have flattened out. I did a 50% water change before adding him and added a Seachem Ammonia alert. I tested again a week later and ammonia was at 0, nitrate was at .2 so I did a 20% water change. A few days ago I noticed the one of the tangs eyes was clouding up and he was being super aggressive to his reflection to the glass. Ammonia alert did not show any signs of ammonia. I should have retested. 3 days ago he got significantly worse and I tested the water and according to my test it was at 4ppm.I've added prime every day since and I've done 50% water changes every day for the last 3 days and I do not think he is going to make it. The other eye has now clouded and I don't think he can even see food to eat anymore.
His fins are slowly dissolving away and its clear he has burns on his body. Is there anything else I can do besides water changes in attempt to save this guy. I don't think he's going to make it.
