so after reading and rereading many of the threads here, thanks @Humblefish for the many articles and post on this topic, i have 2 wrasses coming tomorrow from divers den.
Royal Flasher and Melanurus wrasse.
my setup (in another room 10'+ away) is a 20g long tank, aquaclear 70 HOB with 6 marinepure balls which were seeded from the sump in my display and a sponge, heater, eggcrate, ato, basic light and a small powerhead as well.
i have a bowl of sand for the melanurus and a few pvc pipes in there and nothing else.
meds on hand are
cupramine and seachem copper test kit
paraguard
prazipro
seacheme focus, metroplex and kanaplex
my plan is to get them in the QT tank and let them hang out for 2-3 days and start eating which hopefully since they are from diversden will eat the food i give them (same foods diversden feed),
then 1 round of prazipro, 4 days observation, another round of prazipro, and then just observe the remaining time until the 6 week mark at which they would move to the DT.
my understanding is copper is a touchy treatment with wrasses so i'm best to only use it if needed.
is this a solid plan for my first attempt at real QT
