I had an ich problem and lost a fish to it. So I moved all my fish to a QT tank and dosed it with copper power. Idea was to keep the DT empty with no livestock for a month so its free of ich. Its been 2 weeks now and I read somewhere the ich stays in tank for 3.5 months.
Am I doing it right? should I continue? Really want to put the fish back in DT. Maintaining the QT is tedious. Have to do water changes every other day to keep the Ammonia levels down.
Also, when I first noticed ich, I had removrd all invertebrates to a diff tank and put copper power directly in the DT not knowing at the time that sand and live rock absorb copper. I bought cuprisorb. That shoukd completely remove the copper even from the liverick?
