I appreciate that, but I actually already have one. The guy I purchased my setup from had delta with ich, and I didn't know then that maybe I shouldn't take his tank and start putting fish in it.....
I think I have Marine Velvet

I would suggest a glass tank for observation also. I have a 29 long with hob filter with cycled media, Hanna Copper checker, CopperSafe and Copper Power all available for loan, near I-85 and Pleasant Hill. I suggest Hydrogen Peroxide dip immediately followed by copper in quarantine tank. Please don't delay.
I also have air pumps for aeration which I always use with medication, especially Prazipro
Thank you all for your help and advice. I was able to get 4 of my 5 fish out of the DT, they got a 30min bath in hydrogen peroxide and are now in a qt tank with copper power.
Tomorrow I will try to get my last fish out of the tank, but she is small and wiley, so it will take some strategy.
Wish them luck!

Update
I pulled all my fish out last Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning and did a peroxide bath then put them in copper power quarantine tank. Last night the Royal Gramma from my video finally passed( he was the only one with noticable white dots, and he had been looking dreadful the last few days.)
The rest of the fish are stressed out from being ripped out of the DT, but are all eating and look otherwise healthy. Even the blenny who was the first one to stop eating and show symptoms.
My question now is, should I add kanaplex to the QT? Or just leave it only copper power? I ask because the gramma was covered in open wounds and I am worried the others may have open wounds that will fester if not treated.
Thank you all for your advice and help so far, I think all things considered this has gone fairly well. I look forward to hearing your opinions on where to go from here.

Mixing kanaplex and copper should be ok, but could be hard on the fish. I would prefer 30 minute methylene blue baths on an as-needed basis for open wounds. Use new saltwater WITHOUT copper for the bath.
Sorry about your royal gramma, but I'm glad the rest are doing well!
Thanks! I rather not stress them out more by pulling them out again if I don't have to. If they are not showing physical signs of infection should I just let them chill in the copper QT?
Yup I would just leave them be unless you see signs of infection. Just keep an eye on them and keep the QT water clean. Keep an eye on ammonia
