So I picked up a kole tang 9 days ago. I put him in my frag tank, because I was too lazy to setup my QT tank. I was told he was in QT for 30 days before I purchased him.
He has been picking at the glass, and rock a ton, but wouldn't eat flake food, and looked good until this afternoon. I noticed he was covered in ich. I started making water for my QT tank, but it probably won't be ready till tomorrow AM, and now I am wondering how I should proceed.
The curent tank he is in, is a 12 gal nano-cube. It was designated to be my frag tank, but only has 1 frag of zoas in it, and some GSP. It also has a nice chunk of live rock from my DT. The tang is pretty small (2.5-3"), so I figured he'd be ok in such a small tank for a month to make sure he was healthy, but now I am wondering if the small tank stressed him out.
My QT tank holds about 25 gal of water, and is much larger. I have had copper in it before, and don't mind doing it again, if that is the correct treatment.
Do I leave the tang in the nano-cube, and go hypo? Or move him to the QT tank, and go Hypo, or move him and use copper?
When it is all said and done, do I toss the rock, and corals in the nano, and run bleach through the nano?
