What to do with DT when quarantining?

[Kelly1234]

All my fish will be quarantined while being treated for ich with copper. My DR will only have an urchin and hermit crabs left in the mean time. What do I do with my DT while all the fish are out of it? It's going to be sitting for 72 days, do I do water changes on it still?

Still ghost feed it to keep the bacteria levels up. Do you have corals as well?

You may not have to do WC's as often since the fish load is out of the DT. I would continue to feed the tank.

Thanks! and no I don't have corals

You have any algae problems? Might be a good chance to do a dark period and get rid of nuisance algae. Or maybe start thinking about adding corals. Its a good chance to change things around or add things since you don't have the risk of killing all your fish.

Not all fish tolerate copper well. Be careful, eg, with angels, etc.
