@Humblefish how long would you recommend to QT a Tuxedo Urchin? Never had one of these so not sure if it actually has a hard "she'll" onto which Tomonts may attach.

15gal quarantine, sponge filter, heater, two pieces of pvc, 78degrees, 1.025sg. Have added 37ml of kordons copper aid (new bottle) over past two weeks, still no measurable copper using brand new API test kit. 4 lined wrasse still struggling, flashing, scratching, and not eating. Thinking of switching and starting Cuprimine, or, what do you guys think?
Do you think if i keep adding copper aid, it will get to theraputic level?
If I've done the calculations properly, I've already added twice the recommended dosage per the bottle.
Yes, the new TTM tank can be next to the old one while doing the transfer. The old one is then taken down, cleaned and left to dry.(1) I understand all QTs should be separated from the DT and each other by at least 10 ft. What about TTM B when I am setting up the 2nd, 3rd tank change, etc., prior to the transfer from TTM A? I assume because the way TTM works, it out runs the encysted stage of Ich, I should not be too concerned about any potential aerosol transmission between TTM tanks in the same series, correct? In other words, they can be set up close to one another for the brief period during transfer (with consideration to minimize transfer of water from old to new tank). There would be a couple of hours overlap as temperature and salinity are equalized between tanks and the new tank water is aerated.
(2) And what about when I complete the 4th transfer (end of day 12) and want to transfer again to a larger HT for an additional 30 days of observation? If this tank is being set up as a 5th sterile tank can it be within the 10 foot window? I understand if it were already cycled and running during the TTM period it would have to be at least 10 feet away from the TTM tanks.
Thank you Meredith. I am learning...
Silly question related to Coppersafe.
I have stuff for my QT (net, hose, filter, etc...) that will never touch a non-QT system, but it just dawned on me that I only have onegrvel vac / Siphon hose for water changes...
Should I get a new one as the old one has drained water from a tank with copper in it? Or would rinsing it well/drying it remove any possibility of transferring copper into my DT?
Kinda off in neverland but question for melpyr or humble
If I have an in wall 75 gallon freshwater and 30 gal freshwater tank (both been up for over 3yrs never sign of ich) that are within 10' range to saltwater QT is ich capable of switching from freshwater to salt ?
Or different strain/species?
Thanks for being so helpful to those of us that are learning a new adventure ;-)
