Very nice. So I take it pouring into the DT didn't go well?
I didn't lose anyone so I'm happy about that, and I've been introducing corals and they are all happy (mostly acros, most people would be mad at me for doing so since my tank is like 2.5 months old. But every acro is encrusting, PE is great and haven't lost any. Added the first about a month ago)

Wow and that's with dosing into your display tank then?

Which medication did you dose into it?

Im don't dose any medication im my tank, It is fallow right now, 1 month left. the only thing im doing is ammino acids because i read gonis like it, but other then that its just water changes cause I drop like 0.4 dkh in a week atm.

All the fish are in a 10 gallon qt. 2 clowns and a tang. A lot, but I managed to control ammonia

Directly to display. Honestly, for the first time my fish were in trouble. I introduced a powder blue and all hell broke loose but fish very clear and eating well now. I am still adding 1/3 of dosage daily as a piece of mind.

The copper link I sent you says with amazon prime, I can get it to my house by tomorrow. If you go that route dont dose into your DT do it all in a QT and go fallow for 76 days. Copper is also a lot more proven method to eradicate ich rather then manage. just my 2 cents

go to the humblefish forum they have whole stickies on procedure... you will need to set up quarantine yanks do freshwater dips and TTM.... best resource around is humblefish https://humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/salvage-protocol-for-treating-very-sick-fish.465/
Only issue with TTM is you need to be extremely careful with equipment contaminating the next tank. It has a lot more failure points then just straight up using copper. I'd rather do copper then have like 2+ nets, pumps, filters, tanks ect to do it properly

It’s takes a month but I’ve been able to get copper safe and prazipro on Amazon and eBay and thankfully has saved my fish.
