Ok, well once I get my damsel out of my display, all my fish will be in QT with cupramine. I believe I had a velvet out break, so I am going to starve off the disease. How long will I need to have the display fishless? I was going to go 8 weeks, but that seems like so long, I feel bad for cramming my fish into a 90g tank. I heard velvet dies off a lot quicker then ich, is this true? I already want to add the fish back into the display and its only be an hour! I feel so bad for them, they loved the new tank.

I would go for 6 weeks.

Thanks for the response. Anyone else? Will 6 weeks do it? 8 weeks better or pointless?

Six weeks is a minimum. If you can do 8, it won't hurt. Your fish will be fine in the 90.
