Seeking advice for my tank upgrade/ich outbreak. I have battled ich over the last few months using a treatment, obviously it comes back tho and this time it’s with a vengeance. It’s a 260 gallon FOWLR. I just got a new tank, 300 gallons, so not a huge upgrade but it’s gonna go in the same spot as the old tank so I was planning a temporary saltwater holding pond.
since I’m gonna move the fish and rocks into a temporary pond, what would be the best way to treat the ich? Since it’s a fowlr with no inverts, what’s the difference between treating them with copper in the pond for a month vs in the display tank? I didn’t want them to be in the pond longer than a couple days while I plumb the new tank, but If I can eradicate the ich before they go in their new home I’ll do whatever is best.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
