need some help

In the past two weeks I have lost 5 fish. First a newly introduced mandarin, then all established fish; royal grama, flame angel,one clown fish and another clown today. I need to do something quick.
It is a reef tank so I guess I need to set up a hospital tank. I have a 10 gal. I can use and a 55gal. Any suggestions on what to do and how to treat them? The dead fish all started out with labored breathing and pale color. In my tank now there are 5 more fish.

If your water is good, like it appears, and you do not see ich, you have introduced some pathogen, Bacteria, worm, something, that has gotten a hold of your fish.

Best course would be to get the fish into hospital tank(s) and get with someone like John at FIOS and talk about antibiotics and other treatments.

I was hoping not to have to do any formalin baths, what about a copper treatment in a hospital tank?

Ike I said, you need to go to the specific forum here at RC, or talk to some one like John at FIOS.

I am not experienced enough to attempt to tell you how to treat them.
