Last night I noticed a small white patch on my trigger with a tiny bit of redness (no hemorrhaging). It did not look blood streaked like uronema usually looks (I have seen it at a lfs in their chromis). I thought it was a cut and may have gotten infected since my tang had tail whipped him, but I did not see a cut. I tried to get him out last night but he wedged himself in good and I could not get him out. This morning I found him on a powerhead. I quarantined all of these fish for 6 weeks minimum, but apparently it wasn't enough time. The only prophylactic treatment I did was deworming with prazipro and freshwater dips w/ methylene blue on the clowns and tang (lesson learned now will do all fish). The tank now has 1 yellow tang, 1 porcupine puffer juvenile and 2 clowns. The clowns were treated with cupramine since they did have ich in quarantine.
What to do now?
Capture all of the fish one by one, freshwater dip with methylene blue, then put in a hospital tank using fresh saltwater and treat with metro or furan 2?
Drain the display, clean with bleach and let it go bone dry and start over? OR Should I run bleach in the water and then a decholinator, then let it go bone dry? OR Could I dose ammonium choride to a high level to kill anything off and recycle the tank? ALL OF This would obvisously be done with NO fish in the main tank.
The tank is a FOWLR (no inverts or corals).
Bleach the rock and let it go bone dry. re-hydrate with fresh water and dechlorinator?
Recycle the tank and then re-introduce any survivors one by one?
Any threat to humans with this pathogen?
I wash my hands before and after working on the tank. Should I be wearing gloves for my own safety?
Thanks In advance.
