Hello all :) Need a little help from my friends
I bought a sailfin tang about 2 weeks ago. put her quarentine (ten gallon) With a h.o.b. and a really lively sponge from my main tank.
She had a few spots of ick the second day (only seen it on her tail fin and 1 side fin)
I fed her garlic with most of her meals and it was gone the following day. I kept up the garlic rteatment, also selcon and some Zoe.
Well today I noticed icks back, and its about doubled... maybe 10 spots on her tail fin. (Cant see any on her body but I believe its because her markings are so crazy.. its a juvinial)
Ive treated with copper before and know the basics. But Im having trouble remembering 1 thing and hope you guys can clear it up for me.
Adding the copper basicly killed my biological filter... right?
Should I just remove the filter now?
So to keep things healthy.. I need to do small water changes like every other day?? Water taken from main tank?
Its been a long time since using copper and just wanted to make sure I remember correctly.
Thanks so much for reading :)
