hi all, as mentioned above, i have been having problems keeping clowns as they keep getting white spots on the whole body and dies days or weeks after. My blue and yellow tangs survived the ich without issues and are clear now but my clowns just dies... Anyone please help? If i do hypo or copper treatment, i would still put the fish into the infected tank after... Really desperate for help...:(

Oh yaa im feeding reef gourmet garlic X, got skunks and tried protomarin coral which i thought worked but just came back again... Sighhh:(

Fresh fishes and inverts! What's next? To the salty side of marine of course!:)

Hmmm Melafix more of bacterial infection and fungus though... Its just to kill the infection to let the fish heal proper... Doubt it'll solve my irritating parasitic issues.... Hmmm seriously no one so much more experienced than me in reefing able to help me? *desperate mode on*

Does that food kill the parasites or builds up its resistance? Problem is they got poor appetite and eat very little sometimes....

More information on your tank is needed, fowlr or reef, etc before any treatment?

Full reef with lps, softies, clams, tube anemones and sps with fishes, snails, shrimps etc...

Definitely no to copper treatment. Take all the fish out and put them to qt with copper treatment for 3 weeks or more. At the same time, left the display tank fishless for more than 5 weeks. After more than 5 weeks of fishless, start putting back only fish that have qt for more 3 weeks in copper.

That I think is the best.
