One eye on the yellow tang looks puffy and has some sort of clear film over it. Also I have a Laiti Grouper which is terrorizing some of the other fish. I have a Hamlet that looks like he has all kinds of huge puffy welts on him. Should I take the Laiti out? I think they also have Ich. I was told to lower salinity and increase temp to 82 degrees. Thanks for responding.
Ph- 8.2
Ammonia- 0
Nitrite-0
Salinity- 1.019
Nitrate- 4

Is a snowflake eel an invert. He is in there too and is very friendly and active. Total 8 fish. Boenack Grouper, Laiti Grouper(has to go) 3 yellow tangs, snowflake eel, saddle wrasse, and a hamlet. Without the Laiti, are these a good mix or no?? What about the salinity and temp. Are those OK?

Do you have any inverts such as snails, crabs, stars, etc? How long has this tank been running?

This is no where near ok. How did you cycle this tank? What are your water readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, kh, temp, and SG? You didn't even have time to cycle and you have fish that require huge tanks (the grouper), those that require many lbs of very mature LR (tang), a messy eel. A four week old tank should not have one fish yet. I am sorry, but why didn't you ask for help sooner? You did not do any research did you. Please don't turn away, we can help but you are in a bind here. Most of your fish need new homes.
