So i had a gold stripe clownfish that got white stuff all over his head,i think it was body fungus but i decided to move him out and put him in a sick tank,well sadly he passed away,i checked everything about the tank after that, the salinity,ammonia etc..., for the next week everything was fine but then 2 damsels got sick,one has like a fin rot or body fungus and the other has ick i think,anyway i tore apart my rock structure which was a pain in the *** btw, and took out the 2 sick fish,and all the rocks, i am currently treating the fish and i washed off all the rocks and i am letting them dry out to kill and parasite that might be on them, so now there are only some coral and a naso tang and a tomato clown and a cleaner shrimp. The naso is very healthy looking and eats like a pig, and the clown seems fine too, since the other fish are suck does that mean the other 2 will eventually get sick,should i treat all the fish? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
 
Did you add new fish or coral??? If you had ich then the best bet it to remove all of your fish from the display tank for a mininum of 30 days. Ich cannot survive without hosts. Treat all your fish while in your sick tank, I personaly use copper to make sure they are free of ich, you need to use other products for valvet etc... The key is to make sure that the diseases die off in your main display tank, take no short cuts. How long has the tank been up? Washing off the rocks would have no effect on the diseases, unless you used unsalted water, but that would kill off everything on your rock potentially.

I just removed all my fish, and am letting the tank sit without fish, the tank has been up for about 4 months.
 
Can I ask if this is your first tank? 4 Months old is pretty young for a first tank to do anything besides just letting the tank cycle....
