QT question...

Rob's Reef · Apr 8, 2016

So my wife shows up with Blonde Naso she got for my birthday, so I scrambled together a qt tank.

From what I read a lot of you guys treat with prazipro and cuppamarine or whatever it's called ;p so I picked some up. Now I talked to the lady that my wife got the fish from and she said that they treat all their tanks with copper....

My question is if they run copper in their system should I even worry about the cuppamarine? Or just stick with the prazipro treatment? And how long should I wait to start the treatment since he came from a tank with copper already?
I was going to just observe him for a week and make sure he's happy and eating good before I started any treatments.

What do you guys think?
Thanks for your time.

If eating I start Prazipro within a few days. When I don't ttm I dose Prazipro and observe 6 -8 weeks. Treat any illness that shows.

Your on the right track by quarantining!

What's TTM? This is my first time quarentining. Hopefully I don't mess it up. ;p also being I didn't have a good seeded sponge I had to put live rock in my qt. I have a ton of live rock in my sump so that's fine. And I don't plan on putting it back in. Once I'm done with the qt I'm actually going to use it to cycle some dry rock I have laying around.

Tank transfer method, it's effective against ich.
