Hey all! I've got a 24g nano that about 8 weeks old. Anyways about three weeks ago I got a pair of oscellaris clowns and unfortunately they quickly showed symptoms of brooklynella and ich and succumbed after a few days. After they died, i decided to let the tank go fallow of fish, and have since been stocking some inverts (so far I have a coral banded shrimp, a blue-spot pistol shrimp, a hammerhead coral, an open brain coral, and a feather duster. All are happy and healthy!)
Question #1: Does the three week wait sound long enough, and am I safe to start stocking some fish again?
Question #2: The LFS I bought the clowns from told me not to give my fish a fresh water dip before introducing them to the tank since it would stress them out too much. I need a sanity check on this one, but I feel that since I don't have a QT I should atleast do something to minimize the risk of introducing diseases in my tank.
Thanks for the help!
