Hi everyone, this is our first post on reef2reef and are hoping we can get some help! Our tank is 75 gallon with 20 gallon sump. Temp: 78 PH: 8.1 Salinity: 1.025 ORP range: 265-290. There are coral, 1 anemone, snails and hermits, 2 starfish, 8 fish (3 Pj cardinal, 1 diamond goby, 1 damsel, 2 wild caught clownfish, and cleaner wrasse), 2 shrimp (coral banded and skunk). Problem started January 30 when white spots appeared on (now dead) Tomini Tang fins. Progressed into full body white spots and him lying on side, heavy breathing, lack of appetite. Took about a week to die on February 3rd. We treated the whole tank with Rally pro and it did not seem to do much. Photo of deceased tang attached. Now we are fighting to save 2 “wild caught” clowns that started to show white spots on fin on February 3rd. So far we have used Rally pro and Kick Ich in Display tank. 3 days ago it was recommended that we feed Metroplex with Focus (also have Kanaplex on hand). There has been a slight improvement after feeding metroplex but their skin still looks horrible, we are afraid to freshwater dip and stress them. We have not noticed a lack of appetite, they are breathing heavier, 1 has been laying in sinularia coral for a few minutes and then getting up. No other fish effected. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!! We are able to provide any other parameters, and also have a UV sterilizer going in today (we know it will not cure but will prevent for the future). Thanks again
