Hello, i am going to try to eradicate ich by having a fallow period of 70 days. The ich is not a emergency so i have some time to set up the QT. How would you combat ammonia build up? Any way to kickstart cycle so the ammonia does not kill my fish?

my fish is a small Blue tang
1 small clown
1 yellow goby

If you look at the sticky threads under the "Forum" section at the top of the website, you can find a wealth of advice. This is the specific thread under the Fish and Disease sticky list:


I just set my quarantine tank back up again for two clownfish (one jumped the tank during my working on it). I added Aqualife Activate as a bacteria starter with my Seachem biomedia and put the clowns in right away. You monitor the ammonia and copper with test kits (anything but API).
