Hey Guys,
Bad News. It is Ich. I looked really carefully at my flame angel, and there they were, the salt sized dots that could only be Ich.
I did this in the following order:
(1) Isolated all my fish to quarantine (I did not freshwater dip in my haste).
(2) Jack up the main tank temperature to 86 degrees.
(3) Left my fish in the main tank. Salinity is the same as the main tank for now. Until I get a refractometer, I dare not try hyposalinity as I only have a swing arm.
(4) Hastily added some alk/pH buffer because I FORGOT to check pH when I created my hospital tank. A stupid move. I hope this does not kill my fish.
Tomorrow:
(1) I am going to Aquabuys to get formalin
(2) Buying a refractometer if they have one.
(3) Commence the formalin dip every other day Brandon told me about.
Guys, those of you who don't quarantine, I am exhibit A for what happens.
