Formalin Bath
[hr]
In a separate dedicated container fill with water from your display. Use a 37% formaldehyde solution [brand name Formalin which is sold in the hobby] at 20 drops for each gal of water. Be sure to aerate the bathe water using an airstone that is deadicated to formalin bathes. Place infected fish in the bathe for 45 minutes, every other day, 3-5 treatments.
Warning: This is a toxic medication so don't overdose. When finished with the bath, safely disgard the bath water. Do not use the same water for subsequest treatments. Take care not to have contact with the formalin.

By the way I have a yellow tang with black ick.He is eating like a pig.Should I put in a small tank and treat him and place him back in the main tank and catch him later for the other treatments or put him in a QT and hold him for the rest of the treatments?
