Yes, he is doing so much better thanks to Roan! His ulcers are healing over and are now patches of new light gray skin. The gray patches on the skin are also healing up and returning to normal color. His large hole in his nose is actually healing up as well. I really did not think the hole would heal over to where there was no hole but thus far it appears that it will heal 100%. He still has a bit of fin damage but I'm sure that will take time to heal. He is also much more active. When I try to get him to move where I can see his belly now he flies across the tank. Before I could gently take is tail and guide him to the nearest wall so he would go up it. Makes things harder now to check on his progress but that's a good thing 
He is also eating now which just thrills me He still has a long road ahead of him before he looks like a normal healthy pleco but he has come a long ways too.
Tomorrow we are starting to wean him onto normal healthy water by cutting back the melafix. We've already weaned him from the salt. So far so good Our biggest problem is his eyes which look worse in the pictures than what they are but they are still a bit cloudy.
Anyways, here are a few pics to show just how well he is doing. Again, sorry for the crappy quality. I'm still working on mastering taking pictures of fish
You can see his eyes pretty good in this one as well as the patches that have improved a lot! You can also see the hole in his nose that looks worse on camera than in real life.
The white spots in the middle of his tummy is where those blood red ulcers were. As you can see they look MUCH better!
And for some reason this picture is coming out larger than what it has been re sized to so here is the link:
