Velvet confirmation

[JoshKReef]

Picked up this tang on Saturday, had copper power at 1.3 and noticed this last night. Slowly raised it to 1.75, plan on taking it to 2 later today.

Pretty sure this is velvet, anything I should do besides get copper to 2.0?

He was eating last night, but not this morning. I did leave sorry some nori in the tank on a clip before going to work

Ya It looks like velvet to me

It could be a bad flukes infestation, have you done a freshwater dip?

Those spots look pretty large for velvet. Looks more like flukes or severe ich.

I would continue with copper. I would also do a 5min FW dip. Then a 90 min rally bath. Let us know if anything dislodges during the dip.

Once at therapeutic, how long should I continue to see white specks if ich/velvet?

I will do a FW dip this evening, but as of this morning I don't think it would have made it.

The dip will actually provide relief.

7ish days for the spots to go away.
