    I would also try the Nori on a clip... at least that's what helped when one of my tangs had the itch.... but any other comments?

    I didnt end up doing what i had said with the hyposalinity treatment because i went to my LFS and talked to him about it and he told me to dip the fish in this water he gave me for 6 mins. It was freshwater with pH of 8.3 and said it would burst the cycsts on the tang. So i did this last night and wokeup to a dead sixline and dead purple tang :(. I know that doing what he said didnt kill the fish but i regret not doing the hyposalinity. My mom learned her lesson about not buying expensive fish in a young tank though haha. Tank is clear of ich now you think?
