So over the weekend I started my 20G QT tank using water from the DT from the water change.
Made more saltwater then I would need intentionally so the QT has about 15G of DT water and 5 "new/fresh" water.
Running now for 24hrs and it won't see a fish till Wed. (4 days)
Usual equipment a QT will need...so my question is my medication and procedure.
Here's my plan:
** Day 1: float or drip acclimate fish --> Copper (cupramine) @ 1.0ppm
Day 2: Copper @ 1.25ppm
Day 3: Copper @ 1.50ppm
Day 4: Copper @ 1.75ppm
Day 5: Copper @ 2.00ppm
Day 6: Copper @ 2.25ppm
Day 7 ~30: Copper @ 2.50ppm
**
This with a combination of General Cure or Seachem Focus and Metroplex
Guess the question should I use General Cure or just stick to Focus and Metroplex?
I'm leaning towards Focus and Metroplex...unless someone has a better option!
Should I dip the fish first in something like Safety Stop or fresh water before it enters the QT
Thanks!
