Help

So I started thinking I had ick, then velvet then brook. I may have multiple issues. This has been going on for 2 weeks. Fish have all been eating well until the last couple days. Last night I did a fresh water copper dip, followed by a fresh water dip. Today my bat fish released another round of mucus. More fish getting cloudy eyes. Two trigger completely unaffected. Just about everyone else showing signs.

Parameters are great, salinity is 1.019, and I am dropping it slowly. Ran heat about 82 for a week, but dropped down to 78, it was impacting my fish.

I do not have a QT. The dips stressed my fish big time.. third pic of bat fish was after dips and the the other 2 are 24 hours later. All others pics are 24 hours after dips.

I think I will lose the whole tank.....any ideas

Pics did not come out well. Lots of tiny whit spots, mucus discharge, and now cloudy eyes

if yo u want to save the fish they need to be treated with copper + metroplex because that takes care of both velvet and brook but that looks like velvet to me

Also that eye looks pretty milky if so a Epson Bath along with Freshwater Bath might make that guy much happier...

Epsom Salt: Treats eye and other injuries. Popeye in one eye usually means injury, but popeye in both eyes usually denotes a bacterial infection requiring antibiotic treatment. Cloudy eye can be a bacterial infection or flukes.
How To Treat - 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of aquarium water. Repeat only once, if necessary. Use only “USP” grade Epsom salt.
Pros - Reef safe, as Epsom salt is just magnesium sulfate.
Cons/Side Effects - The effects of excessive sulfate in a reef aquarium are not fully known.

The fish will need to be in copper constantly and in the proper amount. I wouldn't run copper in your display tank. You should get a quarantine tank asap and treat accordingly.
