    Hey guys, so my tank has been fishless for 8 weeks and i qt'ed for a week and treated it with copper, and waited 2 weeks and he was eating healthy, now on Sunday 1/27/13 my friend was getting rid of his pair of clowns, ( his tank is also ichless) so i dripped acclimated and what not but i did not QT it, so today i bought 2 more gobies, ( atm its in a 5.5 QT tank ). and found that one of my clowns has 2 speckle of white dots.

    So my question is,

    1.should i FW dip the clowns and put them back in the display?
    2. put 2 clowns in the 5.5 QT tank, im pretty sure thats a big bioload for only 5.5 gallons of water..?
    3. leave the clowns in there and feed them Garlic X?

    I've already been through 8 weeks of a fishless tank and my sps corals were super pale, even with feeding daily.
