yeah i just looked at velvet photos and thats exactually what my clown looked like... id tell you how i really feel at this point in time but, the moderators would close the thread so now if theres some magical way my other picaso clown doesnt die how can i "rid" the system of velvet so if i add any other fish later i wont kill them?
and i set up the 26 so i could keep my clowns and firefish.... |

Empty your display tank of ALL remaining fish (sounds like you did and they're in a QT) Treat the fish with seachem cupramine in QT tank and leave the display fishless for a minimum of 6-8 weeks.
I had velvet go through my tanks a couple of years ago worst disease ever in this hobby. Here's a link to the thread I did when I had velvet, lots of info in it. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=51938

Do you have a uv sterilizer? Or access to one? How large is your tank?? 8-12 weeks would be better and some more aggressive water changes 25-30% unless you have very sensitive corals or clams in system, then just 10-15% is fine. After the qt time has passed, do not try to restock too quickly. That can set up even more issues. Good luck I know its a hard thing to go through. Been there done that

That would be fine, just remember to add slowly...My 140 has recovered nicely from my set-back at the beginning of the year and is looking great again...yours will too.
