In some ways I agree with you - if you look at data from this site, only 50% or so quarantine - and who knows what percent use a correct protocol. That said - the fact that there are multiple posts/day - probably means that more QT not less would be helpfulThis summer when I move I am planning to run the new tank fishless and with corals inverts and old rock while I treat fish in my current tank. Which will become a qt. With a tank as big as I'm planning on I feel like not qt is a big risk. And why not add a little area where I can put a qt when delighting the house.
Sorry for asking I’m new to this how would I treat the tank then? Just the uv light .Yea it will. It will kill them.
Copper stuff kills inverts and coral.
If it didn't qt wouldn't be very nessacary when it comes to ich.
You leave it with no fish for 60-76 days.Sorry for asking I’m new to this how would I treat the tank then? Just the uv light .
30 gal I only have a small 3 gallon that’s the problemYou leave it with no fish for 60-76 days.
The ich will die off.
How big is the tank?
You're not going to be able to keep that blue tang for very long at all.30 gal I only have a small 3 gallon that’s the problem
Update I’m returning it tomorrow was excited for my first tangYou're not going to be able to keep that blue tang for very long at all.
It will be stressed the whole time.
I've got the same blue tang(same size too) in a 75 and I won't be able to keep it very long.
Only reason I have it is bc of the impending upgrade.
That's for the best...Update I’m returning it tomorrow was excited for my first tang

Will do added primafix and a uv filterKeep a close eye on the rest of your fish.
Just in case.
Great, keep us posted!Will do added primafix and a uv filter
Dumb question here! Do Bristleworms eat the ick “daughters” in the substrate?Looks like mucus cones mixed in with ich and not uncommon with hepatus tangs and separate treatment tank with coppersafe at 2.25-2.5 copper level should correct this. Do this for no less than 30 days and add aeration during treatment with air stone
No- ich is a cyst and single cell that fall in substrate to reproduce and seek host fish once again for life cycle increaseDumb question here! Do Bristleworms eat the ick “daughters” in the substrate?
