Sick Sailfin

So my fish are in QT for ick. My copper never got above .25 (chelated) My copper product sucks so I'm flushing it out and putting new stuff in Tuesday. But this morning my sailfin tang looked very unhealthy. He is very pale, trying to stay swimming but at a 45 degree angle and in very worried. My other tangs in the QT and other fish are all fine. Can anyone help?

Looks to me like he's needing more oxygen on the pic he's at the surface. U may need to get more surface agitation for oxygen exchange.

He was just at the surface for a second. He is kinda just swimming wherever no specific spot. All my other fish are completely fine and I have a lot of surface breakage occurring

WHEN REEFING GETS TOUGH, WHAT KEEPS YOU MOST INVESTED?

My livestock depends on me, so I keep showing up for them

I look for small signs that things are improving

I want to figure out what’s going wrong

I remind myself that rough stretches will pass...just keep reefing

I lean on other reefers for advice or encouragement

I simplify, step back from tinkering, and give the tank time

Honestly, sometimes I wonder if I want to keep going
