Ok a quick back ground on tank..125 gallon been running for about 6 months or so, its a FOWLR tank, 40 gallon refugium sump. Also have a 90 gallon rimless starphire reef had for over a year.Fish consist of the following..
2 Butterfly fish, a 2" scopas tang, saddleback puffer, picasso trigger (3 inch) 1.5 inch bicolor. Have had these fish for about 5 months or so..
Tank perameters
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10-15
ph 8.15
temp 79.5
Salanity 1.022
So here is the issue, bought this beautiful 3.5 to 4 inch Powder Brown tang from a guy that had it in QT for 2 months with absolute NO issues..I dripped him for about an hour, put him in 5 days ago, no aggression from others, eating immediately the next day and every since. Couple of days ago saw a little spot on fin, thought ok maybe a little ammonia burn from hour and half trip will keep eye out. Then saw him flash a little and now a small white spot.
Do I just wait and keep an eye out or start treatment for ich now..Will certainly create more stress if I try to get him out, so would you treat copper or hypo or what are your suggestions. I need your guys help with this dont want to loose this beautiful fish nor any of my others...thanks
