No its not. I would suggest that you do very small water changes daily at this point. Can you post a picture of your tang?

Yes, he is in very bad shape. Is the QT just set up, or well established?
Maracyn 2 for Saltwater Fish.

What is the water quality of your QT. Its extremely difficult to treat with antibiotics in an uncycled QT. What are your readings?
