Failed quarantine process

[Jaybeastin]

Somewhere I failed to successfully quarantine my fish. I did the 30 day process with cooper and prazi pro. Cooper at 2.5 but I didn’t test everyday.

Now all my fish and corals are in my DT. I noticed really tiny white spots starting to form on my bioata yellow tang and blue tang. All my other fishes of course doesn’t have it yet.

My fishes are PIGS , you can see how fat their belly are. I thought for sure it’ll be hard for them to get sick since they are so healthy.

what should I do? Start over?

It’s very important to test the copper everyday to make sure you maintain it at 2.5 if you’re already seeing white spots on the tangs I would say yes time to do a restart and re quarantine everyone.

Did you introduce all the fish at once at the start of the 30 day period? Was it 30 days of copper and then prazi? Did you Do you QT corals and inverts?


As much as its not fun, it will be simpler in the long run to restart the QT and do 45 day fallow at 81 in the tank.

If you can get all fish out, do it. Run the QT again. Leave the tank without fish for the appropriate time.

23 day cooper and 7 day prazi. I introduced half of the fishes 30 days apart . Will 81 hurt my coral ?

You cut the copper treatment too short
