Sadly I go home today after work and noticed white dots on some of my fish fins and bodies. Right away I noticed that it was Ick. Unfortunately I don’t have any type of quarantine system set up and don’t want to lose my fish . Anyone have an quarantine system where I could place my fish willing to pay till they get better :/ . Love this hobby but things can pop out of no where but I know I can turn this around.

-willing to pay fee
-willing to provide fish food
-Willing to provide meds for the fish

Fish List
1 yellow tang
1 powder blue tang
1 flame angel
1 coral beauty
1 potter angel
2 clown fish
1 sixline warsse
1 yellow warsse
1 royal gramma

well i know you are just trying to save fish at this point ..

but moving them now would be more harm than good ..

so id say
1. Leave them be ..
2. Feed them good food
3. see if it goes away
4. dont add any more fish :)

..if in case they all die .. leave the tank fallow for 2 months before adding any more fish .. either start QTing your new additions or get them from a very good source :)

I can talk you thru a quarantine tank setup.
Its easy go grab a tank, hang on back filter, heater and ammonia badge.

Also when was the last addition to the tank (coral, fish or inverts) and when did the first symptoms show up?

You could be dealing with velvet.

Little by little increase temperature if no coral in tank, set high water moment and set up filter socks and clean filter socks every day with fresh water good luck my friend.
