flame angel with ich, popeye, fin rot and possible velvet!!!??

i acquired a flame angel about a month ago. he had only been at the store for a few hours when i bought him and i do not have the means to keep a QT tank running so into the main display he went. within 3 days he had very visible signs of pop eye and also white dots on its fins which i assume to be ich. a few days later its lower rear fin (the blue one) got a tiny hole which ended up being a large tear. im guessing this is fin rot. then today i noticed when i see the fish from an angle you can see a white fuzziness evenly coating the fish. could this be velvet!? i was doing hypo salinity with formalin dips and putting bio bandage on the eyes (both eyes are now infected). does anyone have a picture of a flame angel with velvet? is velvet usually a certain color? can anyone recommend how to treat this fish? hes ina 50 gal reef tank. sorry for the long post im just desperate and i dont want to loose my whole tank if this is serious thanx
