I do have a quarantine tank now.... but with a tank my size it would be next to impossible to get an infected fish out of the tank. I don't know if I had ick or marine velvet. Everyone says it was ick but I'm not sure. All I know is that within a couple days all my fish were dead. I'm adding a UV staralizer and hopefully that will help with any parasite.

I vote for Marine Velvet since the fish were wiped out so quick - the easiest way to tell is while the fish is still alive to give them a FW dip and see if the spots come off or not. Ich won't come off in a FW dip.
Here's a good comparative source. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2119086

Ouch. That's painful to see. Sorry for your losses :-(
I've had both ick and I think velvet. The velvet wiped out my tank swiftly and looked like what you pictured. My tangs frequently get ick (even to this day) whenever there are stressors in/to the tank and they always seem to fight off the ick.

Unfortunately, with Marine Velvet, if you don't start a copper treatment, it's usually fatal. During a breakout in Metro Vancouver a few years ago, only one buddy who treated his tank with copper saved his fish. Massive losses in other affected tanks. Sorry to hear this has happened to you. It is heart breaking to lose all your fish.
