ich in reef

[4RJN]

How long must I keep the fish out of the tank in order to be sure all the ich is gone? Thanks

6-8 weeks i perfer 8 just to be sure

I prefer 8 weeks as the velvet parasite has a longer life span than ich.

Make sure you have not added anything (rock, inverts, corals) to the fallow tank during this period.

Could you explain to me why you would not want to add corals??? Thanks

 

[arizona tech]

if you add corals, ick could "ride along" on the coral, the rock it is attached to.

Anything wet can introduce pathogens/parasites into the tank.

Everything wet should be quarantined Before adding it to the display tank.

IF YOU GET SOME KICK ICH ITS REEF SAFE SO YOU DONT HAVE TO GO THREW ON SEPERATING EVERYTHING AND DESTROYING YOU ROCK WORK TO GET FISH OUT
