Hi all, my tank had outbreak about 3 weeks ago. All fishes death (2 clowns, firefish and yellow tang) in my 75gal. Now I am thinking to start stocking the fishes again but I want to know how long should I wait? Please advice

That can depend on what killed the fish. IME the worst case would be 8 weeks, for Ich. I've pulled all fish and treated for bacterial infections and had the fish back in the DT within 21 days with no reccurance of the infections.

it was Ich that came with yellow tang. I bought from person tank not from LFS so I didn't QT the fish first...my bad:furious:

Eight weeks is sufficient.
