Background story.. I recently moved the tank to the new place on Sunday. I took 50% of the old water and mixed it with new water I had there. My params before are ok and when I checked last night they were the same pretty much cept for slightly higher alk.

I transported most of the snails and the 2 fish (clown and flame angel) in a large tupperware bucket and then drip acclimated them.

Over the past fiew days I've had about half my snail population die or go upside down. My crabs and anemone seem to be doing ok though.

The flame angel is getting what looks to be ich.. little white dots all over him. This morning it has doubled. He ate this morning just fine.

Now I don't have a QT tank at all. I can rig one out of a giant tupperware 18gallon but I'm worried he got ich from the move and it will get worse if i transfer him to QT and then back he will get it again.

Also I have no fish trap to catch him.. Should I just keep feeding him enriched food in the main tank in hopes he fights it off?
