Help with HLLE

What's a good reef safe medication or supplement to help my Blue Tang with HLLE?

I would try soaking the food in Selcon and/or Vita-Chem.

my tank crashed some months ago and I salvaged my fish to a friendly LFS while my tank cyled. after 3 months I picked them up and my 5 year old xanthurum developed HLLE in shop. I was torn.

I started a diet on nori soaked overnight with lemon juice and some garlic juice for 3 to 4 weeks and the tang recovered fine and its a beauty again

hope it helps, all the luck

Lemon juice is for the vitamin C and garlic is to help build the immune system up again but I would use Selcon great stuff
