No hypo with coral do some reasearch I was thinking hypo was around 1.008 - 1.010

Put metronitozole in the food with focus and run a uv. If it's ich that will take care of it

ok all my fish are now in the 55, what should I do with the 90? thank you so much for all of your help

If you've got all the fish out, let it run fallow for a month. Some say even 6-8 weeks until the ich has run it's course. Then you can add your fish back but make sure to test when you add them so that you don't end up causing a spike.

ok my 2 remaining fish and my eel are in my 55 and they seem to be doing better. I just have my inverts and corals in the 90.

You also need to determine what triggered the ich in your display. Have you been having temperature swings more than 4 degrees from nit to day? Did you recently add any fish? Try to pinpoint what happened that caused the outbreak. Ich is triggered hormonally so if you have stressed fish, there is a greater chance of triggering the attachment stage of the parasite cycle.

There are lots of methodologies to treating sick fish. Copper by far works best because it immediately kills the parasite with minimal stress to the fish. Do some research before starting any treatment. If your fish are still eating, there is a good chance they can pull through. If they are still eating, adding a vitamin supplement/garlic additive/medication can be very helpful. Take your time when QTing fish. Just like the rest of this hobby, nothing good happens quickly.

Cheers~!
