your time lines do not add up.  You were discussing ich in the display just last week.  According to your own posts you haven't even had the tank set up long enough to go fallow for the required time in the display tank.

So much going on I have lost track of what issues have occurred, what are occurring, and the period of time.

 

It makes it difficult to properly help

IF u have added a new fish to the QT with other fish that are cured of whatever, the QT clock starts at zero for all of them. Thats’s not an opinion. It’s a fact, based on solid scientific evidence. Just my .$02 from 45 years of saltwater experience. I certainly don’t claim to be an expert but I have learned a few things over the years. Just sayin’.

Ah, yes. It's the tank I was thinking of.

 

Lots of great advice.

Tank needs to be without fish for 76 days to starve the ich parasite out. A week in QT with copper is not long enough also.

 

If you add fish to your DT they will simply get ich again unless you starve it out. Clowns and fish with thick mucus may not show signs of ich but can harbor it in the gills. Something without this thick mucus coat like a Tang is much more prone to becoming I'll.

 

You are risking basically throwing your money away right now.

People are not trying to be mean or bring you down. They are giving you more advice then you asked to help guide you along the right steps to success.

 

Most of us have been through disease, algae, making mistakes. Some have gone through a complete crash, we've seen others go through it as well.

 

It's not fun, it's hard watching things die, watching the hard work go downhill, and its costly. 

 

By helping you, it gives you the opportunity to avoid all of that.

 

As for what additions come next. Research each fish, its needs, what its compatible with, and how hard it is to maintain.
