Crypto in young reef. Best procedures please.

[JoelA7]

Well took a risk and bit on butt.

Tank is 11 weeks old.

NH4 = 0
NO2 = 0
NO3 = 10 - 15 ppm
PO4 = 0
Salinity = 1.025
pH = 8.0-8.2
Temp 78
Alkalinity 9
Ca 325
Mg 1225

Green star polyps doing very well
Yellow polyps excellent
Red/yellow center zoas very well
Orange Florida Ricordia very well
Blue Paly very well
Dragon eye zoas fair to poor

Bicolor blenny was terrific until new additions (10 days ago) now while no visible signs it is scratching on rock.
Added
4 PJ Cardinals - 1 did badly was injured and not eating. Removed and euthanized. 1 remaining has cloudy fins and white spots but no unusual behavior.
1 Royal Gramma white spots scratching on rocks.
1 Hoeven's Wrasse was terrific have not seen for a day.

Except for the Hoeven's who was a no show feeding tonight was the usual frenzy. All appetites are excellent.

So! The key question, if I set up a hospital/quarantine tank (no lectures please I have already been spanked) and manage to catch the fish for treatment (OMG that is going to be impossible.) will 6 weeks fallow be enough to be confident the Crypto is gone from the DT?

Other suggestions?

Thank you.

Think most people will suggest 8 weeks because of a strain of ich that lays dormant that long..... But me personally would be comfortable with 6 weeks.

 

[Nina51]

i believe the recommended fallow period is 72 days.

 

[gone fishin]

Nina is correct 72 days.

I agree with the two posts above and suggest the OP read the stickies.
