we have a 90 gal salt tank with 8 fish and 3 invertibrates we purchased one of the fish recently from a wholesale store the powder blue tang at first he got picked on bad by the other 2 tangs in the tank they have settled down now but about a week after introduction the powder blue tang had ick spots bad started treating with greenex because of the invertabrates this did not work and our bird nose wrasse has been acting funny so we put the invertibrates in a seperate tank and treated the 90 gal with ick tablets not sure what kind our fish store guy gave them to us out of his big bottle and treatment helped within 2 hours you could notice a difference but after the third day of treatment and medicine was not being put in the tank anymore they got worst overnight now we are trying QUINSULEX we are new to all this but are fast learners looking for advice on if this is the way we should be proceding our nitrates,nitrites are both fine ph is a little low running7.6 to 7.8 and alk is normal our other fish are doing ok but are showing signs of the desease but nothing like the powder blue tang or the bird nose wrasse we also have a yellow tang a naso tang a pocoso trigger a nigger trigger a maroon clown a blue devil fish this tank has been set up since january 2003 all fish are eating except the wrasse this is the first problem we have had tank has been doing great until the introduction of the powder blue tang but we have learned that you quarintine all new fish for 2 to 3 weeks before introducing to the master tank that way you dont infeck your whole tank and treatment would be easier right?
