Fish tank dying!!! Help!!

[paxton.rock]

Starting Yesterday, ich had taken the life of my fish in a couple hours with no prior signs before. My other fish also are getting it.

my tank also just spiked ammonia to 2ppm out of nowhere with extremely high nitrates.
WHAT DO I DO?? Need to act fast! I don’t think just water changes will do the job. I also do NOT have a QT

How old is the tank? What size? Did you cycle the tank? Quarantine is the best option and treat the fish with cooper which isn’t reef safe for at least 76 days by fallowing the tank which means removing all the fish. Quarantine can even be a 5 gallon bucket. Treat with cooper in a heated bucket with an air stone by following the directions on the bottle. As for ammonia. You can do water changes to keep it manageable for the fish and add bottled bacteria. https://humble.fish/community/index.php?information/#quarantine_resources

PLEASE stop making additional threads about the same thing! It makes it extremely difficult for people to help you when there are posts all over the place. I understand you're stressed and want help, but you're going about it the wrong way.

Please do not start multiple threads - it doesn't help.

Fish do not get ich and die overnight.

How long has the tank been set up and was it fully cycled before you introduced fish?
What size is the tank?

If you have no QT, then by the look of the fish the fish is going to die.
You can treat the fish in a bucket if you have copperpower, a copper test kit and a means to aerate and keep the bucket warm.

You are either going to need to restart the tank or let it sit fallow for a couple of months.

From what I read on one of his other threads, it’s a 75 with a few big fish, I’ll try and find it

Edit: internet is telling me it wants to sleep and I need to also, but this thread has some info on the tank

Am i feeding too much???

I have: 1 long nose butterfly- 4” 1 powder blue tang- 4” 2 clownfish- 1.5” 2 cardinal fish- 1.5” 1 melanurus wrasse- 4” I was feeding 1/2 cube brine morning AND night everyday. I switched to 1/4 cube brine morning and night. What leaves me wondering if I feed too much, my nitrates hover at...

Yes which means 76 days of fish in quarantine/none in your main display. 30 days in cooper 76 in quarantine/a different tank.

I’m m no expert, but how does ICH kill your fish without any prior signs aka white spots. Also if you saw something white, it could also be velvet, I believe it kills faster than ICH, with ICH it’s normally slower over the span of a couple days unless the fish’s immunity was down maybe due to the ammonia? Did you change something in the tank, I know I had an ammonia issue after I rinsed rocks from the tank? Did you see anything on the dead fishes? Red gills? Maybe ammonia burns?

Yes definitely bottled bacteria!
