Looking good! Some great looking fish in there! I gotta get me a hippo tang for home. They are just so laser blue!
Thanks for the update!

They were already out and treated with copper. I pulled them and started treatment a couple days ago.

Ick or Velvet, either way you need to take all the fish our and treat them with copper for at least 6 weeks. Hypo will work for Ick but not Velvet.
Sorry for your loss.

To be honest, I didn't QT the semilarvatus very long. Should have done longer

Man! Velvet isn't even fair. by the time you realize that is what's going on it's often too late.

How long do you have to QT for velvet? Seems like you had QT'd your fish.

After further review, and another fish near death .... I think I've got velvet on my hands. I have lost 4 fish in the last 24 hrs. Ick doesn't do that

I don't think I am going to go the shrimp route. They still won't eat stuff in the sand bed. This could get ugly. I lost another 2 today. 1 Longnose and the Vagabond. I am treating the tank with Copper and Prazipro. Let's see if they pull through

Any thoughts to keeping a pair of cleaner shrimp in the tank?

Thanks AJ! Not as bad as I thought. Only took a couple hours. I only took out a couple rock. I did have to move a bunch though

Sorry to hear that Mike.
It can't be easy to catch a fish in that size of a tank.

Well, I have some bad news to report. The ich that I had returned. I lost one of the semilarvatus. I was able to pull the rest of the fish out and now have them in QT again with copper. Also, I am going to have to get rid of a couple of the butterflies. I bought some SPS at Preuss and couple of them immediately attacked them. Here is kind of a run down what I found so far.

Hammer and Torch coral .... left alone by all
SPS -- Attacked by Semilarvatus (which I knew was a risk) and Punctatofasciatus (Per an article I read was safe with everything)

I ended up re-scaping the tank as a result of catching the fish. I will grab a picture tomorrow

Looks good Mike. I was looking at your rock work trying to see if you spelled something out.

The programming wasn't to bad. I had to set up a couple of profiles in the Apex and then do a few lines of simple programming. It was basically IF--Then Statements. I verfied this morning that the blue lights were ramping up correctly.
