I woke up this morning and checked on my two tangs in QT. I am dosing Copper Power twice daily so besides just generally enjoying the fish, I needed to give them their 1.2 ml dose of Copper Power. I was surprised to see that both tangs (much more so on the Kole) were covered in white specks. I've never had a fish in this stage of ich so it was definitely a shock since they are doing so well in QT. So to calm my nerves...
1. Is this actually ich in the trophont stage?
2. Is this completely normal in QT? I am 8 doses out of a planned 14 doses of 1.2 ml of Copper Power. Tanks is dosed twice daily. I have an API test kit and plan to start testing now that I'm over halfway to my planned concentration (Tank has 15 gallons of water).
3. Do I just keep dosing as planned or alter the 1.2ml twice daily until I reach 2.0 ppm?
4. Anything, in particular, I can do for the fish at this time like keeping lights low, adjusting temperature, etc.?
Thanks in advance!
