7 weeks ago i noticed that my blue hippo and purple tang had white spots on them and assumed it was ich. after some reading here i decided to run the DT Fallow for 6 to 7 weeks while treating all the other fish in QT.
Well....last week i upgraded my DT from a 90g to a 210g and in the process of changing (used same LR, Live sand and water. plus additional 70 lbs of LR and sand) I decided to transfer all the fish in the new DT, the fish went through a 6 week quarantine, some with cuppramine and prazi and others with quinine sulphate and prazi. The 90g ran fallow for 6 weeks and 4 days.
Yesterday before a go to bed i go and check on the fish and the blue hippo has about 3 white spots in it AGAIN!!!!. Shouldn't the ich be erradicated with the 6 week fallow period?
what is my course of action now? My LFS said that i could use the quinine in the DT just take out the corals and inverts out and put them in the QT. i am leaning towards this since it will be a PITA to try and catch all the fish (10 of them) from the DT and will need to setup QT (i only have 2 10 gallon tanks to use as QT, got rid of another one i had 2 days ago, though i wouldn't need it anymore :mad2
