How much ich-x should i put in a 10 gal?

My hippo tang recently got it, so I got a 10 gallon quarantine tank and I don’t really know how much ich-x to put in the tank

Follow instructions on the bottle:

Ich-X® - Hikari® Sales USA, Inc.

Ich-X utilizes the most widely respected formulation for the treatment of ich, using a less toxic form of malachite green, which makes it less taxing on biological action and safe for scaleless and sensitive fish like Corydoras.

Assuming you got the aquarium variant (not the pond one), it's 5 mL of Ich-X for 10 gallons.

Some important points from above link:
make at least 1/3 water change before each addition
repeat treatments at least every 24 hours, but no more than every 8 hours, depending upon the course of the disease

Worth noting that treating only one fish won't get rid of the ich. You have to remove and treat all fish in the tank, and leave the tank fallow for two months (check the exact time online, I don't remember it off the top of my head) to allow the ich in the tank to die off. Otherwise the tang will just get re-infected, as all your other fish have ich as well.

Also, check your husbandry. Stress can contribute to allowing ich and other infections to take hold. How large is the tang, how large is the tank, and do you have any other tangs or similar fish?

Best to sue copper safe or copper power and you want to have a reliable test kit to assure you are Not overdosing. I am not keen on this stuff and that driftwood in the I assume hospital needs to go due to the edges for potential injury. A small PVSconnecting pipe and elbow will suffice. . . 1.5-2"

There's no reason to use that stuff.

+1 for Copper Power or Safe, as vetteguy recommended

Is the tank supposed to be a lil blue?
