Hi all,
I think it’s finally time to take the plunge and put my tank in a fallow period. At this point in time I only have two clown fish in my tank. I believe one of these clowns has ich and has had it for probably close to two years. There are little white dots on one of the fish and they come and go and it finally is time to handle it before I go and add new fish to the tank.
So like I said the only stuff in my tank is two clowns for fish, but I do have a mixture of corals inverts and snails. I believe ich doesn’t require removal of the others just the fish
I am at the moment where I have no clue what to do first. Can I just remove the fish and the 76 day period will start? What would be the recommendation for starting a qt/hospital tank? I feel this will be the best time to do so and then I can second it as a qt tank for future additions.
Can I mix up some next salt water and add it to a new 10 gallon tank or something to make that the qt tank and start with the medicine and whatnot there?
Can I use tank water from a water change to start the water considering I’ll be doing medicine and whatnot in it anyways?
My only concern is about doing the qt in the same room. I don’t really have anywhere else I can do this and my room would be ideal for it. I understand there’s a risk of airborne transfer under 10 feet away. How large is this risk?
