I'm thinking the new additions might've brought it in. Sorry to hear about the hassle you're dealing with.
This is making me a bit anxious, to be honest. Still, I'm not giving up on my plans for a sw tank. Good luck with everything, really hope it works out and your tang doesn't have ich again.
Doing alright, thanks. He's looking heaps better, just a few lumps left and no other fish have come down with it. The rest of the gang's doing great, I've even managed to get the orange clown and royal gramma eating properly with some twice-daily hatched brine shrimp. Was getting a bit worried about them, they were just picking at the food and getting quite thin.
My mimic tang and purple head wrasse will be going into the main tank today, they're looking fab. I'm pretty sure we're in the clear with the white spot issue now, as it would've taken hold by now. Fingers crossed all the hard work's paid off, but I won't be relaxing till the new fish have settled and are problem-free. Will put some pics up on the diary page once everyone's settled.
Stick with it, mate - show that Yorkshire grit. Don't sweat the frags, they can wait. It'll all come good in the end... just breathe deep. Good luck with the treatment, I feel your stress - this side of the hobby's a whole different ball game, physically and mentally draining.
Regal tangs can get stressed with even the slightest change in the tank, I've seen it myself. Is there any fish chasing him about, that might be causing the stress? I reckon getting a few cleaning wrasses in your quarantine tank wouldn't be a bad idea, that's what my local fish shop told me to do before I brought home my powder blue tang.
