So what ever attacked my tank did a number on my fish. I lost 2 clown fish, Midas blenny, possum wrasse, fire fish, royal gamma and my pygmy hawkfish. The only things i have left in my tank are a 6 line wrasse and a green chromis fish. Also in my tank I have a cleaner shrimp, blood shrimp, 3 urchins and a bunch of snails. All my parameters were fine in my tank and at normal numbers. It was either Ich or velvet. I am assuming velvet by how fast all my fish died. I tried quarantining the sick fish and their was just nothing I could do to save them even with treatment. If my two fish end up getting it on them and die. I plan on just letting my tank sit without fish in it for a long time and just focus on my corals to pass time. Here is my question will the shrimp and snails carry ich or velvet on them and say after 100 day fallow period when I introduce a fish I could be dealing with this all over again. Should I be running a UV sterilizer right now will this help destroy free floating things and continue to use it during fallow period.
