I'm looking for some verification or, more importantly, proper identification.
Tank Parameters
DT: 75 gal
Temp: 78
pH: 8.27
Salinity: 1.025
Alk: 8.1 dhk
NO3: 3 ppm
PO4: 0.086 ppm
Ca: 425 ppm
Mg: 1340 ppm
The last thing to be added to the tank (fish or coral) is the Flame Angel and that was a month ago. Everything has been acting fine and I haven't really noticed anything thing until today.
My untrained eye and uneducated guess is that this unfortunately velvet.
(Due to large number, small size, and "dusty" appearance)
I know I should be QT-ing them asap (I'm working on that and I already have some copper to add). From what else I have read I should QT every fish in the tank. But I don't have that sort of QT space.
I've had UV installed for about 6 months now, but it was setup for algae. I have just now slowed to flow to better handle protozoa, though I'm not sure how much help that will be at this point.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
