Acclimation

[ehealy13]

I added 2 quarantined and treated fish on 4/1 but unfortunately still had an issue with ICH appear this past Friday. My long nose butterfly has been in the sump, since 4/1 because my yellow tang didn't like him. I haven't had a chance to make an acclimation box, yet but can tomorrow. I started dosing the DT (it's been treated before) with cupramine this morning. I want to get the butterfly into the DT and out of the sump and I'm wondering if now is a better or worse time. Keep in mind he's in the sump of the same system, so he'll be exposed to the conditions one way or another. I'm just concerned about 30 days from now when I need to put the cuprisorb into the sump he's in. Thanks in advance!

When you say quarantined and treated fish, why not put the butterfly back in your qt tank for treatment?

I do not have a QT; I purchased the fish from a retailer that performs the service(s). All fish, aside from my cinnamon clown are showing ich, so I have treated my DT, as it has been previously treated.
