    OK it is very apparent that i have a spreading case of cloudy eye and itch on a tang. I am going to set up a hospital tank for the two.

    I have a UV sterilizer that i have never used because the light is blown. I plan on replacing the light and adding to my sump.

    What medications should i use to treat my fish? I picked up some melafix. is this a good medication to use?

    Please help me i hate to have my tank get a bacteria problem.

    Thanks

    Melafix may not be effective against ich. You want copper or formalin based med (treat only in your hospital tank).

    do you think the uv steralizer is a plus?
