I see that now Pat... the content of Lee's original post all all there & that's great - looks like some of the links in his post broke when we RS converted to XenForo database
But the good news, it looks like I can fix them !
I changed these two... example below from part of one you referenced...
Will be some work... but I can get there
Treatments:
1. Hyposalinity - Using a refractometer, hold salinity at 11ppt to 12ppt until 4 weeks after the last spot was seen. (Best to use salinity, but if you use specific gravity, that equates to roughly 1.008 to 1.009 sp. gr. units). Raise salinity slowly and observe fish for 4 more weeks. Hard to control pH and water quality during treatment. This is the least stressful treatment for the fish. See: A Hyposalinity Treatment Process
2. Copper treatment - Follow medication recommendations. Can be effective in 2 to 4 weeks of treatment. After treatment, remove all copper and observe fish for 4 more weeks. Copper is a poison to the fish and creates some stress. The fish may stop eating. See end of this post for other things that can go wrong. See:
Copper - Treatment, Use, Problems
I don't intend to hack this post but IMO I have some relevant questions. if the entire tank including the inhabitants needs to be treated and since the tank doesn't seems to have corals why can't we just suggest hyposalinity in the tank itself, hopefully by doing this the tank doesn't have to be fishless for 72 days?????Now that two of our forum experts, @Uncle99 and @DaveK have confirmed the diagnosis, let me emphasize a point @Uncle99 said.
If your clown fish has Marine Ich, that means your entire tank has Marine Ich.
I assume this clown is your only fish, but if not you need to consider all the other fish in your tank as having it as well.
Finally, even if your clown doesn’t make it, your tank should be left without fish for about 72 days as @Uncle99 said. Otherwise, any fish you put in could get Ich as well and you will be right back where you started.
I recently dealt with a Marine Ich outbreak myself. While staring at an empty tank for 10 weeks isn’t fun, it’s a lot more fun than infecting more fish and having to deal with that.
