Am I screwed?

[Charley Diesing]

Alright well I didn't even think about this, I had a few fish in my QT that had have Ich. They've been out of the tank for about 7 weeks. Now I'm going to treat them for ich with cupermine.

I had some LR in my QT for the cycle, because I didn't have a conditioned sponge. Today I moved the LR out and put in the sponge... But I put the LR back in the fuge in my tank...

Could the LR possibly have ICH on them? Do I have to start over from week one?

I moved the LR out of the Fuge. It was in there for about one hour.

Yes, the fuge/display tank now must sit fallow for 8 weeks starting from now. You have to start that part all over again.

Yes, the clock resets now. I would also fallow for 10 weeks instead of 8.

[Charley Diesing]

Damnit.

On the bright side, you figured it out before putting a fish in the tank and having it die.

Learn from your mistakes but ich can be very frustrating and I know plenty of people who threw in the towel cause a little parasite got the best of them. You must kill the parasite and prevent rentry into your system to prevent invasions.
