Had the fish for 3 months. No problems up till now. No protein
skimmer. Plenty of
LR and sand. Basic top filter with 3 elements inside. Just came back from
LFS and they think it's a fungus, giving me some
copper free/reef safe meds to add to tank or to use in a 5-10 minute private dip. I'm thinking just to add to the tank because it might be too difficult and add too much stress to the tang to try and take her out for just 10 minutes. This medication is
copper free and should be safe for the other fish and shrimp, plus I can continue to use it twice daily for 5 days like the bottle says instead of just a 1-time dip.
LFS says to take charcoal out of the filter while using the meds though cause they dont mix well. I am thinking about getting a 10g tank to use as a
QT for a week, but again, not sure if that will cause more damage. What do you think?
