So I started my first reef tank 3 months ago. I made all the rookie mistakes, no QT, rushed my aquascape, bought a garbage stand that I hate etc. so I want to start fresh after buying a Powder Blue Tang that ended up infecting my tank and fish with ich.
So I am not sure how to go about sterilizing my rock/sand and the tank so hopefully someone has good advice or a link to a thread that does. The second question is, while I know corals and inverts can't get ich, but they could carry the parasite, is there anyway to make sure I do not reintroduce ich into the new system when I put the corals back in (after cycle obviously) or is the only way to QT in a fishless system for months?
Thank you in advance for the help.
