Thanks.

I'm treating with copper currently and marine c. What can I add ? or should I just try freshwater dips until I can get some of the formalin

Freshwater dips provide temporary relief. However brook kills quickly.

Either way, if it kills I still need to leave tank fallow right?

Yes, fallow period for brook is six weeks. You might consider using a quarantine protocol.

On it, I lost a Kole to Ich last week... Tank is fallow now, and will remain that way for 10 weeks. Clowns are both still alive and in QT.

Thanks!
