Looks to me like HLLE, maybe #fishmedics have a better idea though

I agree it looks like hlle. It is often brought on by poor diet and/or water quality, so if you could list your params and what you’ve been feeding it would help for how to correct it.

Running skimmer 24/7 and sock filter, dont have any carbon or any other filtration.

Definitely work on keeping the nitrate down. Otherwise, try broadening the diet (many of the lrs foods are good) and consider adding vitamins like Selcon to the diet.

Welcome to R2R.

Did the tang go through copper in QT? What's the size of the display?

Agree with the Selcon. I would throw in some Nori 2-3 times a week.

No QT unfortunatelly. Bought and set QT just 3 weeks ago. Display is 125 gallons.
UPDATE: disease stopped progressing. Spots got smaller but did not disappear. I'd say they got 30-40%% smaller.
Managed to keep nitrates down to 5-10. Start feeding frozen food in addition +vitamins.
