I didn't need to during my fallow period. I just kept feeding my corals and occasionally threw in an algae wafer and a shrimp wafer from my freshwater food supplies. The wafers helped to keep the crabs and shrimp from stealing food from the corals. The residual waste should be enough to keep your bio filter running. Just be careful not to overload with fish when you reintroduce them. If they all make it through quarantine then maybe add half of them back for a week before adding the other half.

Well so far so good. No bad reactions to the copper treatment keeping fingers crossed. I did a fresh water dip on them for some quick relief and the clowns had flukes! I could not even see anything but when I dipped them I found a few on each of them. Is there anything more that needs to be done now or will the cupermine treatment take care of the flukes as well?
