I am having an ICK outbreak.
This coincided with the introduction of a couple of Tang (Achiles, powder blue, blue, clown).
My aquarium is about 6 months and at first all I had were clown fish, gobies, blenny and corals (LPS, SPS, soft etc.).
Water chemistry has remained relatively stable I would say;
450Gal
Alk 8.5
CA 442
Mg 1360
Temp 77.2-78.8
pH 8.15-8.3
Salt 34.5
ORP 376
During the past week I have lost the blue tang (it was very very small when I bought it about 3 weeks ago) and a clown tang (it looked thin despite eating a lot; thought it might be parasites).
I am unable to QT the fish as it will be extremely hard to catch on my big tank with lots of caves. (I could try; but the number of fish I would need to take out it would just make it impossible >75 fish).
What remedies do you all have tried, recommend, etc.? Any advice is welcomed!
So far what I am doing is feeding a lot, making sure the parameters are stable to minimize stress, adding Garlic to the food and will buy a multivitamin supplement to add. Basically aiming at improving the immune system.
