ICK - Broken Arrow

I have so many ick in my tank and several fishs already dead. I poor copper in yesterday and wonder if the UV Sterilizer need to be turned off or not. Please help.

BTW, I have fake coral only tank with live sand and live rock and assume that both are dead after the copper treatment.

Thanks.
 
your live rock is now dead rock and you will never be able to have live coral in that tank with that rock or sand again. UV is ok to run 24/7 but
like Matt said better do water changes and add some prime ASAP
 
I agree... Water changes right away, and don't plan on moving to a reef tank with this tank. Not only would the copper be in your sand and rock, it may be in the silicone and everything else in the tank.

Additionally, since this did not actually nuke your tank I would call this a Covered Wagon more than a Broken Arrow. :)
