"Black Ich"

[guitarfish]

I brought a yellow tang home from the LFS a few days ago and put him into QT. 24hrs later he was scratching repeatedly, so I decided to treat him with hyposalinity, assuming he had ich. However, at 48hrs he had not white, but black specs on him. After doing some research, I realized it's turbellaria, and I need to get my hands on some formalin.
What I'm wondering is, until I get the formalin, is there anything else I can do? I've been putting garlic and zoe on the food. The SG is 1.014 right now, I suspended the trip to 1.009 when I saw the black spots, but I'm thinking I may has well treat him with hypo anyway. I was going to do a FW dip tonight, but the specs have diminshed somewhat, and he's active & eating, so I didn't want to stress him out.
OK, I've blabbed enough. Opinions and suggestions please!

Not much else that you can do, you really need to just get started treating with formalin. The fish will need formalin bathes, not a continious treatment [just in case you didn't know]. The procedure is outlined in the FAQ Thread at the top of this forum.
It wouldn't hurt to continue with the hyposalinity, however. Even if the fish does not have ich, the hyposaline conditions will help ease stress in the fish.
