When you start to take QT to a higher level.
The clownfishes are doing fine after the Prazi dose, but decided to do a 70% water change so that i could dose some API General Cure which also include metroplex that helps to fight off internal parasites as well. The clown that had white stringy poop is showing good signs, no more white poop so far. Unfortunately both of them are still not eating, may be due to appetite suppression caused by the anti biotics. Will try again tomorrow and by adding some Metro + Focus + Selcon on their frozen mysis.
Here is how my QT tank looks:
I understand it is abit overboard, but everything is being staggered.
Here is my plan:
4 weeks observation: Clownfish goes into DT
Start QT for bristletooth tang, which will go into DT another 4 weeks later. so on and so forth for other fish additions.
Corals will have completed 76 days of fishless QT, main tank will be established and completed 4 month cycle with cheato also completing the fishless 16 day QT.
Corals that are added at different dates will continue to undergo the 76 days QT, when time is up, they will be moved to the DT.
Do note, all these procedures are meant only to treat ich or marine fish parasites, it does not cater to coral parasites i.e AEFW, redbugs. (These will be countered by multiple coral dips with Bayer and coral rx at different points or if coral shows signs of infection)
The fishless coral QT
Weekly maintenance is just changing the filterfloss for all 3, and main tank water goes into QT tank, coral QT tank water goes into Fish QT tank. Coral QT does not have any dosing, but once a week i feed reef roids.
