Just sounding out here.. Jumped into this hobby last year Dec.. 5 ft fowlr tank. Already faced with 3 crashes.. First 2 due to severe ich/velvet. Most recently Brook. How do people dump in without QT and still manage to go that far?

I'm so sorry to spam this post. Will pm for more info meanwhile, still keeping up with the original post! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Thank you both! Greatly appreciate it. I actually have seachem'S cupramine, test kit and cuprasorb available at home. I did set up the qt with intention to do it. But I've not tried it with any fish and ive heard about the horrors of using copper haha. Any tips of doing so without risking the fish and also the 2ft setup (ie; copper damaging the media and stuff). do you guys use cupramine? If so what levels? Heard fishes like flame angels don't do so well in copper.. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Hi there, I've been on this hobby for only 6 months and hit by ich twice heavily. Once hippo tangs (I know.. Sigh) and then an Atlantic blue tang. Been trying to set up a qt procedure since.. However, I've had hit and miss with quarrwntine, with mostly deaths.. I employ a hyposalinity method with tank transfer from pail to pail. Just air-stone in it, 1 seasoned maxspect sphere and I try to do tank transfer every 12 hours.. I employ meds like MB, Prazi gold, paraguard and Ruby rally+kick ich. Any suggestions/improvements I can do? I actually do have a 2ft cycled qt tank. My concern is the use of meds in the 2ft.. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
