Well here is my story.
I have three tanks setup now. Tank One is a 30 gallon. No fish shows signs of ich but did have ich in that tank last year. Went fish less for 8 weeks and hypo the fish in a 20 long. Lost a couple of fish in the process and added what was left. Never had any ich outbreak or sign.
Tank 2 is a 40 breeder setup 2 months ago. Had ich also due to a fuzzy lion I took a chance with. Now it's been fish less for 5 weeks.
Tank 3 is my new ht/qt now since I don't want to lose any more fish to ich. I setup with PVC, skimmer, hob filer with carbon filter floss. 2 power head but I did add 1 inch on dry sand. Cycle for a week with ghost feeding. Added 2 damsel from tank 1. I'm in my third week and today for some reason one damsel show signs of ich. Where did it come from? Tank 1? I did used old filter floss to help cycle the ht/qt. maybe I had ich in tank 1 but fish never show sign. Maybe cross contaminate from tank 2.
Now I want to hypo my qt/ht. but I have sand. Not much life since its only been 3 weeks. How bad would it be to hypo with my new sand? I know I will get some die off but is it worth it to pull all the sand to do bare bottom or deal with the die off.
