So I bought a sunburst anthias and didn't QT it properly. Shame on me. It died, so did my tailspot blenny. Now you guys are left to help me clean up the mess I made.
Livestock remaining in my 120G (with 60 fuge and 40 sump basement) are as follows:
2 Percs
1 Purple Tang
1 Flame Angel
2 Dispars
1 Yellow Canary Wrasse
I think the most major problem in the tank right now is a nasty ich infection. Erratic swimming, 80 breaths per min+, white spots, my flame stopped eating today. The whole nine yards. I was thinking maybe velvet but this has been going on for 3 days now, and I hear if it was velvet they would all be dead already.
Tang has spots, flame has spots, no spots on clowns wrasse and dispars.
If it was only ich I could probably take care of it (going to do hyposalinity, QT is filling up as we speak). However, it seems that my clowns might have something else. They are starting to show ragged fins, and they are getting these ulcers. Ulcers have been around longer than the ich. Could there be a different infectious agent causing this problem in the clowns? Here is a shot of my females head stripe.
The clowns were easy to catch, they are already in cupramine but do not seem to be doing well in it, they are very lethargic, which is why I was going to swtich to hyposalinity. I do not think the ulcers are traumatic as the male has similar marks. Do you think I will need to add something else like antibiotics to the QT for the clowns?

Thank you,

TLDR: No QT. Fish get ich some die, treating with hypo. Clowns have ulcers do they need aditional therapy to the hypo?
