First QT, Ich in Trophont Stage

Oh! I forgot to mention (maybe evident by me doing a WC), but the tomini is doing ok. He's mostly just hanging out in the PVC structures. I haven't seen him out swimming much but he does change structures so I know he's mobile.

@Humblefish I've talked with some freshwater guys and they said acriflavine is by prescription only. Do you know if that's true? If so, I can start conversations with a local, reputable fish vet I know of.

Ruby Reef Rally contains acriflavine, no Rx needed.

I just wanted to share an updated photo of the tomini tang that made it through velvet a little over a month ago. His copper treatment completed this morning so I moved him from QT to a social acclimation box in my DT. Maybe it's the effort I put into treating this guy and the time I had to watch him solo in QT after the yellow eye kole passed but I have to say he's one of the healthiest, best looking fish I've introduced into the display since setting it up. I will definitely QT all future fish, breaking down and sterilizing the QT system today to prepare for the next batch. Thank you all, specifically @dwwataz @HotRocks @Brew12 @4FordFamily @Humblefish for the help getting this little guy to where he is today.
