Would appreciate some advice before making my move.
The background is that about six months ago I had all but one of my Fish (a Fairytale Wrasse) get wiped out by Ich, so as I was in the process of getting into SPS corals I decided not to run fallow and just keep the one fish, given I will be introducing frags that could re-introduce Ich with the water.
Having only one fish has meant that I need to dose nitrate, but not phosphate, so running fallow may just mean I need to add some phosphate, although I think Reefroids sorts this out on its own.
I am close to getting all the coral I want, so the question is what would you do, the two options I am thinking of is:
Option A - Run Fallow for 90 days by removing the Wrasse (easier said than done) and then medicate the Wrasse before re-introduction and then medicate new fish in quarantine before putting in display.
Option B - Live with Ich in the display, quarantine new fish prior to introduction to prevent any other pests. If fish get signs of Ich remove them and medicate and then re-introduce, eventually they should have enough immunity.
My real problem is getting the Wrasse out, as I have a fixed NSA rockwork so would need to trap him, so I am thinking towards option B, what do you all think?
Thanks for any help.
