Oodinium, Velvet or Brooklynella

Well,

Hi everyone some of you may know some history of my tank, but i have just restarted my tank and have intoroduced some fish i currently have a Blonde Naso, Fox Face, Sailfin Tang, Scopus and couple Clowns. it is 75 gallon tank and already i see something that in my past history of reefing has always lead to Death of the fish, that has look like this. it resembles ich but does not respond to treatment. i am not treating for ich but have started using API Erythromycin there are no corals in the tank but plan on it in the future. tank has cycled. I read a thread on another forum about brooklynella? what is it and what method of treatment is used? I can not find any good pictures of this. i took some pictures but only a very small white speck is visable in the picture on my sailfin tang his tail looks foggy with tiny little faint white specks also visible on fins some on body. My foxface shows some signs of this on fins as well. in the past i have treated this as ich and failed! since my tank is new and i got about $300 in live stock in the tank i want to get a grip on this Quick I am raising tank temp to 85, I read 85 degrees to 90 kills the spores of velvet (Oodinium) all water levels are normal tested with Fast Test Kit removed carbon from system I am running ozone and UV lighting 1 40W and 1 18W tank recently had Brown algae bloom reduced lighting and it has subsided. Water movement is 1200G at the head 2 powerheads @ 782G 1 smaller powerhead @350g Ozone injected thru Berlin Deluxe Classic Skimmer. Over 100lb of live rock crushed coral and sand bed spraybar installed. I thought I would give as much information about my system as possible! Please HELP!

i have heard that lowering the salinity level in your tank for about a week helps for ich.
