Agree with @JRWOHLER that is too quick to be adding fish. You need to allow your tank to adjust to the bioload.
This stage happens to everyone. Seeing how you have no CUC you need to figure other ways to fight the alge. Might need to adjust your flow to help.
@JRWOHLER I just meant the rule of thumb I heard but the 1 to 2 in per 5 gallon is a great rule when starting out. I don't think I was clear but I didn't mean about adding 40 fish at once def got to build that bioload up also depending on the type of fish added (which I was trying to get at)
A tank your size I would keep some large fish (like 4 or 5 types of Tangs) and then a show fish (like your EMP angel). I then would look at tons of schooling fish like cardinals or chromies or anthems (I never kept these but I seen them in tanks and they look sweet)
Well a good rule of thumb to go by is 1in of fish size per 2 gallon of water. With that said your 150g system could hold about 75 inches of fish.
Now that is just a rule of thumb and do with it what you feel is best for your tank.
I think 40 to 50 fish is pushing it but again I ran a heavy...
Understand it's hard but I would hits the breaks. You are treating for ich right now and when you add new fish stress will raise in the tank. Also you have some fish in your tank that will get large. It's time to just sit back and enjoy your tank.
To add onto what @redfishbluefish said - just because it looks like the fish are healthy don't mean you can stop the treatment. If the copper treatment say 30 days you need to do the full 30 days even if your fish look healthy.
I have dosed the red Sea colors and it's nice. There two(maybe three) ways to dose. I personally tried testing for each element weekly and dose of that but because I was also dosing Red Sea Cal I decided to base my dosing off of that (1ml for ever 5ml of Cal)
First nice looking fish
Second does look like that fish has ich
Like other said it not a good idea of doing copper in your DT. I never personally needed to use copper treat meant but I have heard is bad for corals and snails/crabs/shrimp/etc...
Also with your tank still cycling adding all...
