I’m sorry for the velvet outbreak.. this happened to me when I first started.. I NEVER take the chance by putting any fish in my display until I QT.. if it were not for @Humblefish at the time.. I don’t know what I would have done:. I followed his qt set up

And did exactly what he told me and shared his post with me until I got rid of it.. Seachem copper is the ONLY aggressive enough formula in my opinion to kick velvet/ich and you will definitely need a Seachem copper test to make sure you stay at the proper levels at all times.. Tangs are the worse about introducing velvet to our tanks.. I’m not sure if it’s because of them stressing out during the ride from LFS to our homes or new tank or what.. I actually was able to save all of my fish except for one.. so please use this as a guide and ask lots of questions if you need too..
