So i made a really dumb mistake last week. Bought a saddleback clown from a very expensive lfs. They sell their fish and corals double the price compared to others. Expensive dumb mistake. Put it straight into my clownfish breeding tank and boom all my clowns including the new saddleback got velvet and died in 2 days. I half dosed copper when i noticed the velvet and its been one week at the full Cupramine dose but im wondering if i could just take down the whole tank, wash everything well and sun it for a few hours(including soaking bio media in freshwater)? Theres no sand or rock in the tank. Would that kill velvet? Then i could just start it with 100% new water and sterilised bio media which i will seed with bacteria. Instead of waiting 5 more weeks…
