has anyone had this?? what are the main ways to tell between it and another disease, say body fungus with stress? or some other internal parasite?

I think my fish may have it, and i dont know what to do...what would treat with if was that? i removed all sick acting fish to a QT and have been treating with primafix... should i do a mix of mela and prima? should i use meth blue?? should i treat every tank? the sick fish have been in each of my tanks, and they were in a 10gal while babies were in a breeder thingy... could they still have caught it? no signs of it but one had a white spot on the tail which is gone now after 3days of mela and prima... i am at a lost please help before i give up
 
oh yeah forgot.....

nitrates in three of the tanks is 10-40ppm (today is water change day btw), the 55gal is 160ppm (oh i know, it was my bf's who didnt take care of it, but i am working on it... it was at 200ppm a month ago)
Nitrites in 4 is 0ppm
Very hard in all 4 (i live in Indiana, hardest water in most parts of US)
very alkaline in all 4
ph is 8.4 in all 4
