I guess the $26 I spent on the kick ick was a waste

Like that has never happened to me before in this hobby

I will try it for the full 13 day at the increased level of doseage no skimmer and see what happens. I don't want to try anything else during this time so i know excatly what is going on. if it doesn't work I might disconect the sump from the main tank and put the fish in there and hit them with copper. Yes, and leave them out of the main tank for 6 weeks.
