ok so basically what happened is i set up a 180 gallon system and cycled it first with the live rock from my old tank and 1 clownfish then added another clown, then a midas blend, then 2 filefish, then a melanarus wrasse, and then a hippo tang and a yellow tang. i had no inverts or any of the like so i treated with prazipro in the display and ran hypo salinity for 6 weeks. (1.009). everyone survived and 2 weeks later my blue hippo has ick. well crap. soooooo. i set up a 29 gallon hospital tank in the event that things didn't go so hot and now i need to use it. can i qt this many fish in a 29 gallon tank as long as my husbandry is impeccable?
blue tang (the size of about 2.5 quarters)
yellow tang (50 cent piece size)
midas blenny is full grown i believe
wrasse is full grown (3.5" is)
firefish are obviously tiny
clowns are still small 2" and about 1.5"
my plan is to run them in the 29 gallon for 8 weeks while the display goes fallow. run copper for 4 weeks and then observe for 4 weeks. can this be done?
how do the tangs wrasse and filefish react to copper? i know the clowns do well but anyone with experience?
