Pretty sure my clown has brook

[Woodneers]

Clown has the typical signs of brook. It also looks like my yellow tang has ich. I have an uncycled 10 gallon, metro and copper. I have a hanna copper checker on hand how do I do this? I can also do tank transfer method as well. I would really appreciate some input on the best path forward.

Lets start with the Brook as it can be quick and deadly.

A freshwater dip can help relieve some of the parasites of Brook. Won't help with Ich parasites they burrow too deep under the skin for FW dip to be of much good.

A bath in a Formalin product or Ruby Reef Rally for 60-90 minutes and then into the QT with the Metro dosing every 48 hours for 10-14 days.

What kind/brand of copper do you have?

I don't have any formalin but will get some coming. I have coppesafe as well as cupramine. Are there any formalin products on Amazon that I could get quickly?

I just looked on Amazon and they don't have Ruby Reef Rally or Hikari Quick Ich-X in stock.
They do have regular Ich-X but it has a rather low concentration of formalin <4%.

Here's another option use 37% Formaldehyde. Nasty stuff and a known carcinogen. I have some, but refrain from using it due to risk to me and fish. Has been known to work well on Brook, but can shorten the life span of the fish. Yikes.

Formalin

FORMALIN Formalin (37% formaldehyde) What It Treats – Marine Velvet Disease (Amyloodinium), Brooklynella, Uronema, Flukes (Monogeneans), Black Ich (Turbellarians). How To Treat – In order for Formalin to be fully effective, the product you are using should contain 37% formaldehyde. At present...

That's why I prefer to use RRR. And it has many other applications as well. Highly recommend RRR.
