2 of my 5 fish have ICK , I'm going to quarantine all of my fish and treat with copper. My problem is that my fish are big, 3+4 inches. I don't have a tank big enough for all. So I'm going yo use Rubbermaid 32 gal trash barrel ! Would this be big enough? They are in a 125 gal display tank.
On the water issue. My tap is 50 TDS . Could I use tap water in the QT tank?
I won't have the option to use my RODI system for the water in the QT. I need to put the barrel I'm my heated shed and keep the trash barrel there for the total time of treatment.
Thanks
