Hello everyone,
I am currently facing a dilemma on what to do with my tank as treatment action.
About a month or more ich or ich alike disease appeared on my tank and took out some of the fish.
I bought a quarantine tank and placed the fish that seem to be sick on copper for a month aprox.
About a week ago everything seems to fine and i placed back the treated fish on the main tank.
But after couple of days the disease seems to be still present in the tank and i can see white spots on fins here and there.
The issue i am facing is what treatment action to take shall i remove all the fish to the quarantine tank (its aprox. 100L)
treat with copper and be fishless for a month or so and feed them heavily to make the fat and happy.
Or remove the invert and corals to the QT tank and treat the main tank with copper bear in mind that the equipment of the QT tank is really basic light filtration and wave-maker
Here are some info of the livestock of the main Tank (500L)
Fish: 7 Damsel - 2 small clown fish - 1 porcupine puffer - 1 Magnificus fox face - 1 Trigger ****** - 1 Blenny Midas - 1 Goby - 1 Salarias - 1 Wrasse
Corals :2 euphyllia - 2 sarcophyton - 1 tubipora musica - 4 Zoanthides - 1bubble tip anemone orange - 1 small frag gonipora - 1 Gorgonia
Invert: 2 shrimps - 2 sea stars - 3 sea urchins - bunch of snails and hermit carbs not sure with the number
1 Compartemnt of the SUB is with Chaeto macro algea (refugium)
Thank you all in advance.
