Hypo or Copper ??

[puffrbware]

Stupidly i added 5 fish within 3 weeks ! I just added a Purple tang, PP Puffer, sailfin tang, broomtail wrasse, and a flame angel, I also have a picasso trigger,yellow tang, foxface, and a 20 inch snowflake and 3 stars) all in a 120 and yes im done!!!!
Unfortunately My Purple tang Is showing signs of ich! Hypo sounds like the best but will it be a shorter process if i just remove the stars and treat the whole tank with copper then add them back after treatment and removal????? or should i just go hypo and add the stars when the salinity is back up??? (2 cc stars and 1 red general)

From what I understand once you put copper in the tank it take a very long time to get it back out. Go hypo I tried it once and it seemed to work. Other may have better answers.

Hypo and copper don't have much of a time difference. Remove the star, and I would remove as much of the live rock as possible as well and store it seperately for the month to 6 weeks it takes to hypo.
