I have to take all my fish out of my DT and leave fallow to rid of itch. I have QT going through cycle and when its done ill be transferring the fish. Now since its a basic setup, i wont have a skimmer.
I will be doing water changes as required to keep Nh3 down, but i am wondering, should i use new salt water, or can i take water from the display tank(has itch) and put it in my quarantine? Will the itch transfer with the water?, and will my copper, or hyposalinity kill the itch so the fish dont stay infected?
I just dont know if using salt water from a infected DT will basically null the fact that i am using a QT with either hypo or meds.
