Ich Help.

[HawaiianGrown]

First off the basics. 75 Gal, Aquarium last water quality check was 4/19/2013, SG 1.024, PH 8.3, NH 0ppm, N02 0ppm, NO3 0ppm. Since adding my Bicolor angel on the 13 of this month, I noticed that it was a bit skittish and always hiding in an overhang I created in the aquarium. It didn't have much of an appetite. By the second day I noticed flashing with no definitive signs of ich (white spots). As a precaution I removed the carbon filter from my sump and turned off my protein skimmer and started a treatment of Kordon Ich Attack starting on the 17th. Today I noticed that a white spot is now visible on its right pectoral fin and 2 more along its dorsal fin. I don't have coral (Illegal in Hawaii) but lots of invertebrates (Hermits, Starfish, Feather Dusters, Turbo Snails) and its tank mates include a snowflake eel, flame angel, pink spotted goby and 3 percula clowns. Should I continue to use the Kordon or go with a more aggressive approach by isolating the Bicolor Angel in a separate tank and use copper or a stronger Ich fighter?

Should I ..... go with a more aggressive approach by isolating the Bicolor Angel in a separate tank and use copper or a stronger Ich fighter?

This is the only way to eradicate Ich once and for all. But you'd have to do it with all your fish; not just the Bicolor. And then leave your DT fallow (inverts can stay) for 10 weeks.

I don't have coral (Illegal in Hawaii)...

Are you serious!?

Yeah sad isn't it, to own live coral in Hawaii is illegal. The sale of live rock is also illegal in Hawaii except for Molokai Live rock which is man made rocks of concrete left in the ocean for several months before it can be sold. To protect the local wild life the importation of any such items into Hawaii is punishable. There are ways around it, we are able to collect rubble from the rubble zone around our shores, if say some Zoathids or other item should find its way into your tank. But I understand what you said, all my fishes need to be treated at the same time even though the Bicolor is the only one with symptoms?

This is exactly correct.
