I have to nuke my fish. My clowns look like they have rubbed their foreheads raw and I lost my naso this morning. What do I do?

I think it's flukes or ick or both. I do have coral though. I have a hospital tank but I would like to find an all in one treatment if it exists.

In your hospital tank start with 4 weeks of copper, I use cupermine. After the four weeks treat with prazi pro as directed (many people like to go two rounds with this with a little break in between). Leave your display tank fishless for 8 weeks before returning treated fish back to it. This should give you a little time after your copper treatment for observation to make sure everybody is healthy. Get yourself one of those little ammonia alert badges to stick on the glass. Good luck, if you have anymore questions please post them up. I believe you can use cupermine and prazi together but I never have, maybe someone else can comment on that.

Do you have pics of your clowns? Your description for them sounds like Brooklynella. If it is, copper will not treat it.

Well, I set up the hospital tank. Started with general cure, but I was to late. My Coral Beauty died last night and I found both Clowns dead this morning. I left my Blenny and Goby in the display tank as they were showing no signs of illness or parasites. They are acting as if there was never any issue. I am treating the display tank though. Any advice on what I can do to prepare my display for restocking would be awesome.:sad:

What are you treating the display with? If it's with copper, you will kill your corals and won't be able to re-stock with corals because of residual copper.
