3-4 month old 75 gallon GHA problem

Yeah, it really sucks when you have thousands invested into stuff over three tanks

AHHHHHH that sucks! Did you just add him to the display or do you quarantine new fish? I learned my lesson the hard way. I always quarantine my new fish and treat them (medicate) like they have Ich... even when they are perfectly fine. I had to take out all of my rocks to catch my fish and then do a 90 day fallow period. Not an fun job with a 6'ft tank! Then boring A-F for 3 months...

Yeah, it really sucks when you have thousands invested into stuff over three tanks and they may all possibly have it. Needless to say it’s definitely something that will make me possibly get out of the hobby that I just really started to deep dive in and build new tanks.

The problem with my display is the rock Work and catching the fish. It’ll never happen.so upsetting it really is

And another thing that super upsetting all the fish from the fish store we’re supposed to be in copper so I’m under the impression they were under a low level of copper to get rid of or suppress the disease and once I put them into my observation, coral tank disease came almost instantly

Your quarantine/observation tank should be a tank with nothing else in it. Could be as simple as a 10 or 20 gallon tank with a small power head and a HOB filter. No sand, maybe some PVC pipes thrown in there for hiding spots. That way, you can run "Copper Power" and other treatments like "Prazipro" or "General Cure" etc... without effecting corals or other invertebrates. You can fill it with established tank water and start treating the fish immediately. As for catching the fish in your display, you gotta do what you gotta do! Rip those rocks out and catch em! When I got the Ich in my display, I had tangs that were laying on their side. I thought they were gonner's. Less than 24 hours in Copper Power and they looked 50% recovered... and no signs of Ich after 3 or 4 days in treatment. I only lost some Firefish and some Anthias I think, but I caught it quickly and acted fast. It sucked ripping out 200+ lbs of rockwork, but definitely worth it. Now I quarantine every single fish I will never do that again...

It’s going to destroy me to take my rock work out it really is not to mention how glued and expoxied it is can you just try to break the rock up? I’m adding the flame and goby to copper today at 2.0

As for my display I don’t think it’s smart but nothing is showing signs and I’m not 100 percent it has it I think I may wait a day or two to see if anything happens and get prepared to set up another qt the 20 gallon I have set up now is not enough

I have 2 clowns
3 pjs
Anthias
Corris wrasse

Trust me I know it sucks!!! It won't destroy you, just a challenge to overcome. I will tell you this... I feel great knowing that my tank has no Ich in it and that I am not just rolling the dice by throwing new fish into my display and praying that they survive without infecting my other fish. This was definitely a SUCK DAY!
