Hi,
moved homes, downsized to 30 gallon cube. New 525XL is cycling. I have two clowns, a fire shrimp, snails, crabs I would put into the new tank. I did ich management in my 120 gallon mixed reef but reading through the threads, decided I will use this opportunity to eradicate ich. I have had ich on clowns from a tang 4 years ago, so clowns could still host disease?
So, transfer snails, crabs, shrimp to new tank. Move clowns to 5 gallon bucket, remove all rock and sand from current 30 gallon tank, place clowns back in (make up lost water w fresh salt), and start dosing copper? Also, new tank must remain fallow for 45 days.
Does this sound correct?
