Ok I have a hugy emergency in my 70 gallon f/o tank that doesn't have live rock. I have a baby hippo tang, a coral beauty , and an Atlantic Blue Tang. Since he was introduced on saturday the hippo had been scratching and now he's pretty beat up. I took the precaution of feedin him garlic but no results. He has continued to scratch and now everyone in the tank has what he has and they have it bad. It's not white spot and there's nothing visible that you can see on any of the fish. I'm assuming its internal but I don't know how to treat it. Everyone is eating fine. Currently I'm treating the tank with RX-P soaking garlic food and doing freshwater dips daily. Should I lower the salinity too? What else can I do and does anyone know what is happening to my fish? I really want to keep these fish alive. They're putting up a good fight and I want to keep it that way. Any replies would be extremely helpful.
