Marine Velvet

[BigAirHarper]

Ok, so I am fairly sure my tank just got attacked with Marine Velvet, I lost both of my fish and they died quick and showed signs of heavy breathing along with the velvety appearance. I want to move some of the corals into my 120 so I can tear the tank down, however, I don't want to transfer the disease. How long should I be waiting so I can make the transfer and ensure that the disease doesn't come with the coral/rock? Also, I have some organic Ich Attack that states it kills protozoans, dinoflagellates, and ich, will this help in killing the disease in the tank? Thanks for any input.

Move the fish to a seperate QT, leave tank fishless for 4-6 weeks. DON'T treat the main tank and don't waste your money on anything but a copper based medication. None of those "Reef" safe or "Organic" ich cures have been proven to work. Act fast as velvet spreads quickly.
