So I just started my very first reef tank a little over 2 months ago. Right now, I have a melanurus wrasse, yellow coris wrasse, yellow watchman goby, 1 wyoming white clownfish, yellow tang, and the hippo tang.. Also fire shrimp and cleaner shrimp and some snails and hermits.

I just added a blue hippo tang... Got Ich.. Been eating like crazy still after i realized all the white spots on him and hes been swimming fine and acting completely normal. Today, I woke up and the ich is worse.. The white spots are starting to look bigger and its like caky in the fishes skin.. Its like starting to cake up and blotch up... So, I set up and cycled a QT tank not too long ago... I am going to pull all my fish for probably more than 76 days and medicate all of them with copper... I have cupremine but i think im going to use copper power instead.. I want to completely get rid of the ich in my main display and from my hippo tang and whatever other fish has been affected. (no other fish show any signs of it. I am looking for recommendations on how to "FALLOW" and how to properly medicate so I dont lose any fish. Please help in any way which possible anybody!!! Would be highly appreciated.


Thanks in advance!!!
 
Fallow - Remove all fish from your main display and place them into quarantine. Leave the tank fish-less for 76+ days.
Maybe even feed it once a day to keep nitrates from bottoming

Quarantine - Follow the instructions on the bottle. Keep your water moving, and don't add seachem prime while copper is in use. Be sure to pickup an ammonia badge as ammonia tests are not accurate when copper is in play.
