So I drop my salinity to 1.017, over 2 days, cause I don't want to
kill my coral, and a hospital tank won't hold all the fish coral etc.
Its been 1 week and half, and six line had ich for all of about 6 hrs,
no other fish has had ich, but Dorry...well she gets better then she
gets worse, and back and forth...I'm sick of this fish....short of
flushing is there anything else I should be doing?

Tangs are strong fish - they can usually survive ich without treatment.
If you see only couple white spots fish will be fine with good feeding and
no additional stress. Are the spots all over the fish or just couple of
them?

For future you need to use hospital/quarantine tank BEFORE
you put new fish in the main tank. Quarantine tank is for the
new fish to observe it before placing it in the tank.

For me best for ich was the cleaner shrimp (like skunk shrimp).
Not sure if your fish you currently have will tolerate shrimp fine
or will they bother it too much... BTW - cleaner shrimps fare
best when there is a pair of them (two of the same species).

Nothing like being a day late and a dollar short huh ****y Pants? Do
