Putting together a new large (~225gal volume incl sump) tank system. Upgrading from a 29g 13 month old display. Transferring existing live rock (80+lbs worth). The new display will go through a full cycle before gradual transfer of existing tank inhabitants, and then gradual introduction of additional new fish.
Wanted to get some opinions on suggested preventative treatments/QT, etc with the noted species I will eventually be adding to the new tank.
Current tank inhabitants
1x Midas Blenny
2x Occelaris clowns.
1x 6-line Wrasse (likely to be kept separate for a frag tank by itself).
I am planning to quarantine the following fish for at least 4 weeks prior to introducing to the new display. Possibly longer depending on suggestions and individual species requirements. They will all not be quarantined at the same time. I still need to figure out which order to introduce them.
New Fish (list still under consideration)
2x Blue Throat, or Sargassum Triggers
2x Tangs
4x Anthias (Carberyi?), or a few 'reef safe' wrasse(s)
My current fish essentially got a formalin dip, followed by a course of prazipro as a preventative when I first got them. Then put under observation. They are all very healthy, and the tank has never had any Ich issues.
I prefer to not treat with cupramine unless absolutely necessary. But I feel a formalin dip and a course prazipro are good preventatives for a new fish.
What do you do?
