My occelaris clown got ich while I was on vacation. So on the 13 I bought him a 10gl hospital tank and some coppersafe. I put it in and it seemed like the ich went away. But yesterday since he was gasping I got him an aerator and some stress coat. I put the stress coat in. Today,the 15th,he has ich all over him again!!! Could the stress coat have done something to the copper to make it stop working? Please tell me what I should do now I need help. I don't want to loose my clown he was my first fish a long with my damsel. Thanx in advance.

What filtration are you using in the hospital tank?? Hopefully more than just an aerator.
Do a 50% waterchange and if you have carbon filtration, use that for a few hours to clean up your water.
Then go with hyposalinity. No coopersafe or stresscoat please. If you need info on Hyposalinity, please read the active thread in this forum titled "regal tang" authored by mrswv1956.
