can i qt a BTA for 16 days with a par 38 led light.....like the ones people use on refugiums?

What are you QT’ing the BTA against? Fish parasites or something for the BTA especially? I’m curious why you are QTing for 16 days specifically

its possible for the free swimmer stage of ich to be in the anemone so by QTing for 16 days you starve em out and they die

never mind the original question i was able to borrow and older AI Nano light from a local dude so im good there....next question, my tank is currently fallow for another 40ish days, i dont wanna keep the BTA in qt that long so i plan on 16 days then in the display it goes. The BTA is in a coral tamer which is basically a stemless wine glass, im pretty sure the encrusting stage of ich can stick to glass so i should take the BTA out of the coral tamer and scrub it with bleach then let it dry and put the BTA back in it right before it goes into the display.....correct.?
