always coppering ur quarantine tank

[gmatta]

so i have had my tank fishless now for 2 and a 1/2 months due to ick that wiped out all fish so I want to know if anybody just coppers their tank ( qaurantine ) every time a new fish is added makeing sure no fish ever brings in ick?

are you planning on putting coral into the tank?

well copper is very hard on fish over some time, so id recommend not useing copper all the time just when u add a new fish get it eating and healthy and then to a week or week and half add cupermin(sp?)(sorry seachem cant spell it), then after hes in the display take the copper out using cupizorb(sp?)(you really need to make easier to spell product seachem lol ) so that when u add a new fish to the q tank it doesnt have to deal with the copper untill its eating right and healthy
