Hi everyone, I'd like to introduce myself here and thanks for reading my post. I'm new to reefing, and this is my first time reaching out for advice.
The main question I have is in regards to my scopas tang in my hospital /quarantine tank.
Immediately after I purchased the fish, I noticed it had 1 foggy eye. This eye began to swell up so I began tri sulfa treatment at 1.5x and 0.013 hypasalinity. The eye came good after a few days but continued treatment for 7 days to be safe.
The whole time it was eating like a machine, mixed diet of sea weed, pellets, frozen brine, algea wafers.
The day I decided it was ready to go into display, it developed ich.
I began copper treatment immediately as per the bottle, started at half strength and increased to full strength over 2 days.
It's showing slight signs of improvement after 4 days but my brand new hanna hr copper reader measured 0.00 2x today.
Should I dose again?!
FYI, I added a small bag of zeolite to tank as recommended by lfs on day 1 of copper treatment.
Also, the copper treatment product I'm using is called "ultimate aquatics parasite remover".
The qt tank (30L) has had 9 pipette drops in total.
Am I way under? Could my hanna be faulty?
Thank you so much in advance, I look forward to your experience and advice guys.
