Hi everyone!
After been "hit" twice by brooks & ich respectively, I decided to setup a 2,6g QT tank.
The reason i want to setup such a small QT tank is simple. If the fish show any symptoms of parasites / illness i want to be able to do a 100% water change on the spot. Given the small amount of water this will be a piece of cake.
of course salinity and temperature will match before each water change.
Also I will not need to spent any money on copper test kits and I will also be able to dose the exact same amount with every WC.
I will be using tap water to mix the salt. Since the tank will be completely bare, besides some plastic tubes big enough for the fish to hide, I don't think cyano or algae will be a problem.
The ONLY problem is that I read that I cannot use any water conditioner if treating fish with cupramine. Do you think it is OK to mix the salt with tap water and add the medication without first "conditioning" the tap water?
