The diet you have your fish on needs to be improved. The flakes are okay, but the brine needs to go. Brine is okay as a treat or part of the diet, but you know you will have problems if it is being used as a staple.
I would recommend to switch to some frozen foods such as formula A and B, algae formula, reef spectrum formula, frozen kelp, frozen mysis shrimp, etc.
Also, some freeze-dried seaweeed sheets, like Julian Sprung's Seaweed Selects will do your fish a world of good if it is apart of thier staple diet.
Vitamins would really help at this point to improve the poor diet. Zoe, Selcon, and VitaChem are all excellent vitamins. You should also be using Garlic. Kent Marine makes Garlic Xtreme, a liquid garlic additive that can be soaked in the fish's food to give them a boost to their immune system.
