Hear me out please.
I ordered 5 tangs from saltwaterfish.com
Actually, let me explain my tank right now. I have a few fish, and 2 of them are tangs. One yellow and one blue. The yellow tang looks perfect, no ich. The blue eats super healthy and occasional has one or two ich spots, but it doesn’t affect him at all. He eats like a pig, is super healthy, and growing a lot since I got him.
I just ordered 5 tangs a few days ago, and I have about 3 weeks until they come. My plan was to QT them before I add them in the tank, but what’s the point? I’m most worried about the Acanthurus tangs; I got 3 of them: mimic, orange shoulder, and lavender.
I think I should call them to remove those fish from my cart. My tank is over 300 gallons. I already QT the whole tank after a velvet breakout, and luckily that problem is now gone. I haven’t lost a fish in a few months which is very good since I did the QT a few months ago.
Oh, forgot to mention, I use NSW for water changes, so I’m constantly adding something “wet” to the tank.

What is my best bet? I’m lucky I planned this ahead of time, because I can easily backtrack my order of those tangs.
My biggest worry is those Acanthurus tangs being such ich magnets. If I QT them with copper, they won’t have any immunity against the ich in my tank to fight it themselves. I don’t want the ich to use them as a host and get out of control.
