So yesterday I noticed some very tiny white spots (very few) too on my blue-throat trigger, today it has gotten more visible so I'm getting worried
This is my first time dealing with marine ich, I have dealt with FW ich before, just through some meds in lol, but can't do that with sw.
yes, it is a reef tank, there aren't a lot of corals though.
I have a purple tang, a blue-eye tang, foxface Lo and a volitans lionfish along with the trigger and a couple of cerith and trochus snails.
None of the other fish have shown any signs of ich.
The trigger is pretty new, (added just on sunday.) and has been very timid, all the other fish outcompete it for food, although it is eating some.
Purple tang also doesn't like it very much although the bullying isn't much so I wasn't worried.
All my other fish Ive had for 1-2+ months respectively already.
No I dont QT although I should.
I really don't feel like doing a 72 day fallow period, is it really necessary?
I have looked into PolypLab's medic and there are so many mixed reviews on it I don't know if its worth it or not.
The tank is a 220gallon(ish) tank, a pretty new one too.
So what should I do? I love my fish very much and would hate to lose them
Would a UV sterilizer worth it? I'm willing to spend the money if it'll work.
If so how should I plumb it?
Any advice would be appreciated
