So I tried searching the forums, but I couldn't figure out how to word the question to get the results I needed. I'm two weeks into a 6 week fallow period, and I've got questions/concerns:
1. While running fallow is it still safe to feed pieces of shrimp to my anemones? I ask this because the other day my emerald crab stole a good sized chunk of shrimp from one of my nems, and now I'm worried that ich/velvet could use this piece of shrimp to propagate.
2. When transferring fish out of copper, how do you ensure that you don't put copper into your display? I currently have seven fish that survived my ich/velvet outbreak (still not sure which it was, some fish died super fast, others took up to a week), sitting in my 45g QT tank with copper. After lowering the copper with cuprisorb (does this even work with copper power?) Am I then safe to just catch them and move them to the main DT, or do I need to put them in another tank or bucket first to wash off any remaining copper?
