Welcome! It seems you have had great patience, jay has some solid advice nice to hear things are doing well, on the other hand I will be the one to say it…… that tank is too small for that tang once he grows up some.

Hi Adam and Welcome! Glad you joined. Sorry you had to deal with Velvet (sad)Hey guys, hope you are well!
New to reefing, coming over from discus. My tank is 400L which has been running for about 4 months now. Two months in when slowly adding some fish i was struck down with Marine Velvet and was way to late to the party by the time i realised/learnt what it was. I have spent hours and hours reading up on Velvet and have learnt a lot. I now have a 3 tank QT setup in the garage with all meds on hand. Never again do I want to experience Velvet.
76 days fallow is (FINALLY!) over tomorrow. My soft corals are surviving but they are not as happy as they were when fish were pooing on them. I have 2 Clowns, a Chromis and a Blue Tang that have been Copper Power, Metro and Prazi treated using @Humblefish 's QT schedule. All looking healthy and happy ready to go back into the DT tank tomorrow. It took everything I had not to put them in the DT today (being Sunday).
I bought the Blue Tang (because they are awesome and my kids love finding Nemo) mainly to test out the theory that everyone kept telling me, that a Blue Tang will always have Ich. After all the reading i have done I cannot understand how people keep saying this as its a parasite (that can't fly more than 10ft). Fallow is a long time and QT is hard when it comes to fighting the temptation to put them in your DT straight away, but fallow is so much longer LOL.
All my research usually leads me to Reef2Reef so i figured it was time to sign up.
Look forward to future chats!
