Tangs have ich, so do my other fish...QT tank size???

[MarineGirl411]

I wanted to start treating my fish with Cupramine. I have 4 totes that measure 31.5x18 inches wide. I have 2 tangs. A yellow and a Naso. Naso is the largest at about 6 inches. Yellow is about 4. I also have a Scribbled Rabbitfish and a Copperband butterfly fish. Those 4 are my largest fish. Would those tote sizes be large enough to house them during the treatment? Would I need all 4? I have a 40 breeder as well. What should I do? Along with those large fish, I have 2 clowns, 2 dwarf angels, 1 hawkfish, and 1 pearly headed jawfish. Can the jawfish go without substrate during the treatment? I am kind of in a panic here. I don't know what to do. I have read and read, but I don't know about the sizes of the treatment tanks I have available. UGH! HELP!

When I had ich in my 180 I pulled every fish from the tank and put them in a 55 gallon and 29 gallon tank. At one point everyone was in the 55. I left the 180 fishless for 8 weeks and did a full treatment of copper in the hospital tanks. Problem can be you need cycled tanks for treatment or you will be doing water changes like crazy. Also, any rock that is coppered shouldn't go back in the reef tank.

I think they would be just fine getting treated in the 40 breeder.
my yellow when i first got him got treated in a 10g he was about 3", not saying he liked it, but he seemed fine with it.

You could get a divider for the 40g if issues cropped up. Managing one tank is much easier than several. I'd start smaller and go bigger only if need be. For typical QT time, they should be fine (no different than them sitting in a pet shop or holding tanks.) It'd not ideal, but save yourself the trouble if it's possible.
