the blue tang is acting/swimming/eating normally again in the 55 gal after a week in the qt with Coppersafe. within a few days, he's back to getting white stuff on him again - this time looks like infection and ich, and he's scratching up on the LR again. Poor little tang, I think he's on his own this time, I'm just going to keep feeding him. I think I did all I could. Is it possible the 2 yellow tail damsels are stressing him out, causing the ich outbreak?

A little more than a week later, the Blue Tang is looking healthy again. I haven't medicated with anything else. I put the carbon back in, put the skimmer back on, and have been feeding him seaweed with garlic extreme. Water parameters are still excellent, so we'll see how he does. Guess the best thing to do (if they're still eating) is to let them battle it out on their own. Here's how he's looking now, and he's grown just a bit.

Thanks to all for your help with my first saltwater ich encounter.
