I'm sorry if this has been answered in the thread already but I have a major disaster on my hands. My tank must of been infested with velvet from a new fish and I have been rapidly losing 2 fish a day for the last 4 days. So at this point tank water is no good plus no time to seed a sponge. I have a 50 gallon AIO I can use as a hospital/Qt tank. How do I start the cycle? I received CP from my LFS what's the best way for me to start? I read to treat with cp for 30 days. Do I do water changes in the 30 days? If yes when and how much?And if so I have no more cp as of now to add to new water.
I've been in this hobby for over 10 years and I've had my current tank a 280 mixed reef for 8 without ever an issue. It really takes one bad fish to ruin 8 years of what I had established. I learned my lesson now the hard way and will QT everything from now on.
Thank you
Jimmy
