marine velvet eradication

[nureefer2008]

All of my fish in my tank have just died from marine velvet disease except for one Yellow Tang who seemed to have immunity from the disease. Does anyone know how long b4 I can restock the fish and not getting the disease again? :strooper:

If your sure the problem is amylo you should consider qting the tang and treating with copper (cupramine copper is conisdered effective and won't harm tangs like some other copper). You should consider leaving the show tank without fish for about six weeks which should allow the amylo to die off.
