Thoughts on this hammer. Tank has go through the wringer this past week with a cyano outbreak, velvet killing all fish and 30% water change trying to get ammonia down. Dosing prime but still around .28. Not sure what else to do!!

Community feedNot a good day for the tank! Lost 2 clowns this morning and now another looking really suspect. Still new to the saltwater life is this velvet or Ich?? I don’t have a Q tank what’s best options!
It’s been a long journey since December 20th with my first saltwater tank. Many battles and an ammonia struggle but all a learning process. Fixed all issues and fish are thriving. Tank is finally going through the dirty phase. Nitrites and nitrates still at 0 and ammonia at 0 so hoping we start seeing a shift.
Little update from last post but ammonia after water change was still .25 so we did another 20% water change added fritz turbostart took out charcoal filtration and turned off uv light for 48 hours. See if we can get this thing to cycle properly! Day one and looks like we have signs of the dirty phase! Fish doing great still hungry as usual!
Ugh newbie here and this isn’t an easy hobby! Began the day with ammonia reading .36 did a 10% water change new reading down to .21 with Seachem prime dosage.
