Hey all,

I have a 75 gallon reef tank with soft corals, 2 clowns, 2 cardinal fish, and a powder brown tang.

I noticed white specs on my tang that I am sure is ich. It’s hard to get a picture but it looks exactly like pictures of ich. None of my other fish have spots but my shrimp and fire fish died this week. My fire fish had been looking thin and hiding more for a few weeks before dying. The shrimp was unexpectedly and the same day the fire fish died.

What can I do for my fish to save them? I have been doing water changes weekly for the past 3 weeks.

All of my parameters are in line too.
 
The stress of being in a very undersized tank caused the tang to acquire ich. All fish need to be removed and treated in QT for 30 days with copper and your DT needs to fallow for 45 to 76 days.
