I was thinking about today's events and this is what I came up with...
Prior to topping off the tanks, there really wasn't a whole lot of action. I didn't really see anything in qt1 but did see some twitching by the wrasses in qt2. I figured this was because they've been in therapeutic copper a little less than 24 hours.
-This evening I topped off both tanks with some saltwater I made up last night. That's when the fish started to flip out. At that point I cut the lamps in both rooms. The reason for saltwater top off was because I did hypo/ttm on the residents in qt1. I had gotten salinity to 1.015 when it was discovered I'm likely dealing with velvet. As of tonight it is 1.019. The wrasses in qt2 were shipped to me in 1.020. I have raised that tank to 1.022 in the same week.
-Qt1 went through 10 days of kanaplex.. the last 4 days of which were when I was ramping up copper.
-Qt2 has not had antibiotics as this was the qt for my 2 new wrasses and a pair of clowns from my nano. This tank was thrown together and the fish treated because of my fear of cross contamination and the fact that the new wrasses started to twitch within a couple days of arrival. Both wrasses and the clowns were given a freshwater dip prior to being moved to new qt. I saw no flukes. None of these fish had direct contact with qt1 or inhabitants.
- I noticed when I added kanaplex to qt1 that water would get cloudy despite 3 hob filters, an ice cap 1k gyre, and 2 air stones. The tank would clear up in time for next dose. Qt1 has 2 hob filters, a small powerhead, and two air stones.
