I'm sorry if I'm hijacking your post, but I am really new to the hobby and the forum. I to have an ich out break in my fairly new 55g tank. I have 2 clown fish and 1 algae blenny. I had a blue tang and a scooter blenny that both have surcum to the ich before i realized what it was. Just yesterday we set up a 10 gallon QT and put all 3 fish in there and the LFS guy coahed us on quarentining the fish and adding the copper to the QT, but not the slow ramp up part. He said 1oz of copper power to the 10g tank would be good so thats what I did, i set up the tank with water from my main tank and added the copper and some cycle bacteria to keep the bacteria stable in the tank then caught the fish and put them in there. My question is will it harm my fish by not ramping up slowly over 7 days, or will they be ok. They all seemed fine this morning
