i used "maracyn 2" fw meds in a qt tank and it was gone from my perks in 2 weeks. did continue the qt for another 2 weeks tho to be safe.

if you need a tank to qt in i have one (15G) laying around you can borrow.

I was under the impression that Lympho is a virual infection. And viral infections cannot be cleared up with antibiotics.

I was thinking I could just QT him in a 10 or 15 gallon tank, and feed him garlic soaked food and see if it clears up in a few weeks?

Correct - most meds are useless in treating the primary viral infection; you could use them to treat a secondary infection that might result, but that's about as useful as they'll be. Your best bet is to keep them stress free in a hospital tank and let them recover there.

So I think my plan is to put him into QT for a couple weeks and target feed him with something to increase his immune system.

Anything from the LFS I should be looking for?
