+1 This is what I'm thinking too: https://humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/brooklynella.5/

@hanse_2020 You really need to pull all your fish, and treat with copper + metronidazole in a quarantine tank. This combo will cover ich, velvet & brook just in case.

If QT is not an option, then dosing H2O2 in the DT is your best bet: https://humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/peroxide-h2o2-dosing-for-parasites-in-reef-tank.725/

You can give the worst looking fish (i.e. most heavily infected) a H2O2 bath to buy some more time: https://humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/hydrogen-peroxide-bath.21/

I want to stress that treating all the fish in QT with copper + metro is your best option!

The in-tank H2O2 dosing regimen sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. It's just better than doing nothing.
