I had a bad ich or velvet outbreak after my tank had to broken down and moved off site to redo my floors.

I’m pretty sure it was velvet but not 100%. Long story short all 10 of my fish died, 4 tangs, 2 angels, 3 clowns and few others.

so sad to watch them all slowly die off.

couid have treated blah blah blah but didn’t have quarantine ready etc..

Planning to go fallow for about 90 days...I thought i would take opportunity to focus on corals and add some add beginning of process . Anything I can do to make sure I don’t bring Anything additional in?

any suggestions on setting up quarantines for fish down the line would be helpful.
I also have 20 rose bulbs in tank I may get rid of most....can they harbor cysts?

do it sooner than later do that any parasites that attempt to venture to the coral will not survive either
