Looking for help... I got a purple tang a few weeks ago. I got him really cheap from a lfs cause he had bad ich. I've been treating him with copper and selcon and feeding him mysis shrimp mixed with garlic extreme. He is in a q/t. I have fwd him once and been trying hyposalinity but be isn't getting better. Any other suggestions to help him?

Since you have the tang in QT also treat with metorplex, mixed with focus mixed with your frozen. That antibiotics will help the immune system recover. What I do is also mix in vitmarin-M and amino acid to also help with the immune system. I was also was reading and I am going to start doing is also adding Brightwells vitmarin-C to the mix with also help with the immune systems and over all tank health also. I will have to watch the alk when I start using the vitmarin-c, from what I have also read is that the alk will rise a little. What I have experienced is when tangs get stress they get ick really easily.:)
