Hi all! Colorado USA reefer here. Well a lot has changed for the better(except for $$$$, lol) since I broke down my tanks and moved 15 years ago. Trying to do things right from the beginning this time but I have already made a few mistakes. My dry rock is cured, tank cycled and fish look and act happy and healthy. However, I bought my two clownfish from Petco but did not qt or treat for disease. Tank is a bare bottom 60g hex with about 50lbs of dry rock. Fish have been in for almost 7 weeks. Setting up a qt tank now for future fish but worried about the current fish being carriers of disease even though they show no signs. This tank will eventually seed a Waterbox 72” room dividing(kind of) peninsula about 11 months from now so I have time but like most lack patients. Big question is, should I put my two clowns in the qt tank and treat while leaving the DT sit for 72+ days to assure the tank and rock are free from disease as well as the current and future fish. Is there a for sure way to treat my tank with the fish in it at the same time? My goal is to have a healthy tank with about 5 fish in it and nice purple rock by the time the new tank is setup. Thanks for any advice.
