I've been in the hobby just a few years.
My very first tank I didn't QT any fish... (I know)
I picked up a yellow tang as a rescue, it had a pinched belly and HLLE.
A few days after introduction it came down with ich which spread to my coral beauty.
Less than a week later, all visible signs where gone...
That was 2 years ago and now they are fat and happy and never had another outbreak since.
All signs of HLLE on the tang healed without scaring.
All I did was feed a wide variety of enriched foods and used stress coat.
Anyways, on to the reason for this thread, I have a 60 cube I now use for a QT tank.
I recently purchased a powder brown tang (for my 72x24x15) and the next day it broke out with ich in the 60.
I got it eating nori with garlic off a clip, mysis, and NLS pellets.
Today the fish is clean with no spots and is more active than I've ever seen and its shredding through nori.
The QT tank does have rock and sand as it was once established with a pair of clowns I've since sold long ago.
Would you recommend I treat the tank with or just transfer the fish when the time comes?
