Default one by one :(

Iv been loosing a fish per week...
Last week my hi top died, he had ick but it looked like he got stung or poisoned.
He was very bloody when I removed him.

My tang is my happiest camper in my tank...
Last night I did a water change.. A good one

Today my tang is so full of ick and stressed out.
He turned away food for the first time.

My clown fish, snowflake eel and lionfish are doing fine.
So far...

Can I do anything for my tang or just hope?
I just got him nice and fat but his mouth is going and when ever I see that... I wake up to a dead fish

Could you put all your fish in a QT tank and medicate for ick?

I did a 25% water change last night.
That used up all my water.. Plus I don't have a tank only buckets.
I think putting him in a tiny 5 gallon salt bucket would really stress him out.

I'm going to reduce flow, and see if he will eat some frozen food.

I shouldn't have cut back on my feedings... Was feeding him well and he fought it off the first time

My tank has been acting weird lately.. I had a major crash few months ago so my 2 year old tank went to a 10 week old tank... So now I'm hitting all the bumps in the road again.

My rocks are clean no algae, most of my corals are splitting and growing. And others are melting... I started running carbon again because I figured it might be my angRy corals stressing things out.

I just don't know anymore, the harder I try with this trade the harder I fail.

get a cleaner shrimp or cleaner wrass. They will eat the ick off your fish.

Sorry to hear of what you are going through.
what is your filtration like and if you have a mix of corals you maybe experiencing chemical warfare as you just stated of started carbon.
As for the fish its unfortunate as you must restrain yourself from buying fish without the treating period and never add any new life to your tank until you resolve what you have going as this keeps stress on your inhabitants.

See if you can get a cleaner wrasse, we call ours the doctor fish, does 10x more cleaning than a cleaner shrimp, and eats everything we put in the tank.
