I have a 150 FOWLR tank. Around 15 months ago I had what I beleived was ich and treated with cupramine. At the time, my biological was bio-balls and no live rock.
My question is, if fish seem fine and there are no signs of ich, is it valid to assume there is no disease or is there a chance it is there, but just has not re-surfaced.
My tank currently has:
6" Porcupine Puffer
24" Snowflake Eel
6" Banana Wrasse (QTed before going in display)
6" Red Breasted Wrasse (QTed before going in display)
5" Niger Trigger (QTed before going in display)
3" Coral Beauty (QTed before going in display)
At the time I treated with cupramine, I only had the puffer and eel. I think I might have had a hippo tang and butterfly I removed some time ago.
I also have a 29 biocube reef that had a clown and small hippo tang. This tank has been up for over 2 years. a week ago I removed the tang to my 55 QT. That tank has never had signs of disease and after putting the tang in the 55QT, still no signs. I am getting the tang ready to move (eventually) to my 150.
Same question, if no signs of disease for 2 years, is it valid to assume disease free.
For the 29 bio cube, the clown and tang were not QTed before going in. For the 150, the puffer and eel also were not QTed. However, As I learned, my newer fish were QTed for 6 to 8 weeks.
thanks,
Mike
