So....My tank was doing great - I had QT all fish, and they were doing well - fat and happy - going on 8 months - no sign of disease - and fish were happy. Recently added some coral - and snails - and although I dipped the coral - I didn't QT the coral or snails. And now, my fish have ich :-(. I know I need to pull them, Qt with copper, and leave the DT fallow - but my question is....how big a QT should I set up - ie...how many gallons?
I'm short on space -but will do my best to accomadate. I have 4 tangs (yellow, scopas, hippo, and sailfin - all around 3 inches)....a melanarus wrasse, two clowns, a royal gamma, two blue/yellow damsels, mandarin dragonet and a diamond goby. Should I set up two tanks? One for the copper sensitive fish - one with the other? I'm at a loss - and really discouraged. Can I leave the cleaner shrimp and fire shrimp in the dt during the fallow period? What about the assorted hermits and urchin?
Please no hate - I was doing what I could with my resources - and now just want to save my fish.
