My 55 gal was set up for 6 weeks. 2 perc, 2 yellow tail damsels doing fine. No inverts. Went to LFS and added flame angel and yellow tang. On day 5 the tang was covered in white pinhead "cysts". The angel was not eating. All water parameters are fine. I tried a fresh water dip but within 24 hours the tang was dead. I also added one dose of cupramine to the tank and turned off UV as stated on the bottle. The angel is still not eating and looks like his fins are ragged and his mouth looks like white lipstick. My guess is he'll go too. I figured I should hypo and I've begun to do that. My question is... the percs and damsels are doing fine, now what. Should I hypo for 6 weeks. I bought a QT last night but I did not set it up yet. What are my options?
:help:

putting fish in your aquarium before keeping inQT
why do you even have fish in an aquarium that is so new.
damsel will live even in acid i think and percs are last to go.

I THINK YOU NEED TO START OVER.
TRY AND GET GOOD INFO FROM OTHERS ON THIS PAGE.
DONT RUSH THINGS
I DID AND AM NOW PAYING FOR IT, OR SHOULD I SAY THE POOR FISH ARE PAYING FOR IT.
IF YOUR IN THIS FOR THE LONG RUN READ, READ, READ.
AND GET INFO FROM OTHERS THAT YOU CAN TRUST.
NOT LFS TRYING TO SELL YOU SOMETHING.
LR/LS ARE KEY TO A GOOD HOME FOR YOUR PETS.
I THINK 99% WILL AGREE.
POWER HEADS, HEAT, AND A SKIMMER ARE KEY AS WELL.
IM STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THINGS MYSELF.
I KNOW HOW IT IS, YOU ASK 1 QUESTION TO 10 PEOPLE AND YOU GET 11 CONTRADICTORY ANSWERS.
THERE DO SEEM TO BE A FEW THING THAT ALL AGREE ON AND LR IS ONE AS IS QT AND NEVER PUT COPPER IN YOUR SHOW TANK.
GOOD LUCK
