Whatever you do, make sure you do not cross contaminate between tanks and keep your QT at least 10’ away for your DT.

About 15' away. Didn't even think of that. So what's the deal with equipment or buckets or nets. So I put my siphon hose in the bucket I used to drain the tank for a weather change. And put my net in there. Now that **** won't be used for my dt. Is there a way to clean copper out? Best to get two sets? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I have QT equipment and I have DT equipment. It’s best to just keep them separate and sterilize when you’re done with qt. After you treat with copper for 30 days, they need to be moved to a sterile tank. It’s tough but well worth the piece of mind.

So since the upgrade I used a lot of new water. And I assume the tank is somewhat recycling itself again? Starting to see some nice purple spots again. But I see it bit of brown in places again. Skimmer had a hay day last two days now today not much skim mate Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

My tang that I'm treated acted healthy and never rubbed just swam and acted like a tang. But still was ich, not sure about yours, from what people have told me it can stay dormant and only show when a fish is stressed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

If it didnt have access to food I. E your fish it would of been wiped out. Hence you remove the fish from the tank to eradicate it. Basically starving it out. |

AL your nets and syphon hose ect I would use now just for your qt get new nets and hose for your DT once your fallow period is over. It's not so much the copper on or in the equipment as it is the possibility of the parasites being on or in the equipment.

If your just leaving your tank fallow then iverterbrates, snails, shrimp, hermits etc are fine to stay in the tank. Last edited by fishkeeprian; 11/11/2017 at 08:31 AM. |
