ICH / Mata Tang

[mrgartman]

Hi all , had a bit of a ICH issue with my REGAL and Clownfish, I started dosing POLYPLAB daily for over 2 weeks, the ICH cleared totally on my Regal but unfortunately my clown passed.... now this morning my lovely Mata Tang has Black patches all over him and all other fish seem ice free... All parameters are good, double tripled check

please see photo, any thoughts / help... cant use copper and no QT

You will need to treat with coppersafe in quarantine setting for 30 days at 80 degrees at therapeutic level 2.25-2.5 monitored with a reliable copper kit … no API brand either

As advised, I do not have a QT....... I have seen sucess stories with POLYPLAB and Garlic infused food?

You can get a starter kit at Walmart which comes with the basics and use new seawater. Adding tank water may have free floating protozoan placing you back in same predicament

You have little time
Right now you can bump temperature to 80.5 and use ruby rally pro which is reef safe and addresses velvet
