I learned my lesson. I need a quarantine tank.
I have a 150 Gallon aquarium that I tore down when I moved and it is up and going nicely now...with one exception..Ich.
I made the mistake when I was experimenting with my new pumps- Neptune WAV pumps, and turned the flow too high while I was at work and it must have been a typhoon in the tank. Ever since the tank has had ich.
A few months ago I lost a number of fish due to the above situation.
My main concern now is my beautiful YELLOW BELLY BLUE TANG.
Another mistake I made was I bought him after seeing no ich in the tank for two months. I am learning the hard way that Ich is still in the tank.
I do not want to tear all the rock out and I only have a four frags on plugs, a RBTA, and a Orange Sea Star.
I need to save my fish and can then look into purchasing a quarantine before I add anymore fish. I will need time to cycle quarantine tank.
My plan is to maybe find someone local that can keep these for some cash and dose the tank with copper.
If I dose the tank with copper...will this be a problem for the live rock and future of the reef? Anyone local a good fish catcher without tearing apart the rockwork?
Maybe I can catch the tang, maroon clownfish and lubbocks wrasse that are in there and go fishless for two months? This would probably be ideal.
Any help/tips is greatly appreciated. That tang is my favorite fish and I need to save him.
