What do you think about transfer on day 8 and then 3 week observation period since ICH is max of 7 days and Velvet is 4 days?
How bout 8 days and 4 week observation. The observation period is the safety net.
If we get one legit failed report, we'll move to 10.
Agree???
Your fish, your risk to take.
I'm finally getting my TTM setup going. I went out to buy a new air pump from Petco (they have like 70% off air pumps right now btw) and I'm kind of shocked at how much spray a big air pump produces. Seems like I'm going to have to be extremely careful about aerosol transmission between the two tanks.
I can't seem to find the information in the OP about how much time needs to pass for ich. The schedule is excellent but I can never make the first window 72 hours (because Fish tend to arrive in the morning and I can only work on Fish at night). As far as I can tell it's 12 days total? Is this schedule good or should I do an extra transfer on day 14-15?
3/21/2017 - Day 1 - add fish (10 am)
3/23/2017 - Day 3 - Transfer (11 pm)
3/25/2017 - Day 5 - Prazi
3/26/2017 - Day 6 - Transfer (10 pm)
3/29/2017 - Day 9 - Transfer (9 pm)
3/31/2017 - Day 11 - Prazi
4/01/2017 - Day 12 - Transfer (8 pm) to final tank
Ah ok. I was planning on letting it go two days (so the first one is 60 hours) and using that shorter one to get me on a night time schedule. Is that worse?
No, as long as you don't go over the 72 hours, then you are good. But you'll be effectively doing 6 transfers instead of 5. Make sense?
Ok that's what my plan is (doing it the night before day 3). My big question is... is my 4th transfer on day 12 the last one or do I need another transfer after that one? Does my TTM need to be atleast 13 days? That's the number I'm missing (I bet it's in the OP but I just am not seeing it).+1 If your fish arrive in the morning but you only want to do TTM at night, just do the first transfer the night before it's due to ensure 72 hours will not have elapsed.

Ok so 12 days must PASS so I'll have to do one more transfer any time between 12 hours and 72 hours after the 4th (the one on the 12th).So long as 12 days have elapsed, then you are good to go:
1. Transfers need to occur every 72 hours OR less, NOT more
2. The total number of days to pass should be 12 OR more, NOT less
3. A minimum of four transfers is required, with more required if doing transfers more frequent than every 72 hours
