325 gallon tank just pulled out 1 bass infected with ICK and then discovered another dead covered in it. I need to know what to do quick before I lose my stock.

i would start with anything infected or dead needs to go, and for the long run look for something else, bass die very easy they are a delicate fish.

salt to 3ppt to start..
what are your water tests showing?

If the "ich" is so severe that it's actually causing deaths...

Then you need to shock & awe"... quarantining and salt bathing to 10ppt would be the ideal... then returning them to the tank with 3-6ppt...

If you can't quarantine... then go to 6ppt.... and hold for at least 2 weeks... then 3ppt for another 2 weeks...

Not from what I have seen. I have had bass in my system and never lost one. Way easier to keep alive than tilapia, or catfish. All my bass have been caught by hook from my pond and moved to my ap system. 100% survival.

hi there thank you all. Keith I will go out and get some readings today and post them. I guess I should clarify also the bass that was infected had what kind of looked fine white fur ish fungus growing off of him. The fish that was dead was a tilapia. I just added the bass less than I week ago caught two from a pond the second one seems fine and as far as I can tell all the other fish seem to be fine as well. However whatever it was growing on them seems to be growing in the tank as well its growing on little pieces of excess food is this still ick or something else? I turned up my water heater to 30.0C last night and added Mediterranean sea salt to the system its all I had on hand LOL PISSED MY WIFE OFF LOL.
