I had a bout with ick about 4 months ago. and put everything in qt with copper unitl ick was gone. and left them in there for 3 month will tank set fallow. well i seen a bump on my tang yesterday and am pretty sure its back. i ordered aquamedic trap to get them out not tearing tank down again.

I have a 3" yellow tang and 2 " leopard wrasse in my 29 gal qt have been in there 3 weeks and are doing great. no copper yet. would it be to many fish in the tank if i add my 3" blue tang, 3" clow, 2" clown and 4 " longnose butterfly.

Im pretty sure the ick either came from some recent corals added to tank or some pods and inverts added. neither of which were qt'd. MY fault and i now have a 10g qt for coral, inverts, rocks, pods, etc.

I have a skimmer on the 29.

Im considering getting rid of blue tang aswell because it is bullying my butterfly and taking chunks out of its tail.

First off, it is possible if you are just seeing a single white bump that it is Lympho, a non-threatening virus. A picture would help.

As for your prior copper procedures, what was your regime for it? Did you do the .5ppm for 4 weeks?
