SOrry to Hijack bro...

I left my main tank fishless for slightly more then a month after my itch attack...

Had transfer all my Fishes to my QT. Been under going medication. Last week did a change of water and replaced half the water in my QT with that of my main tank. But now my PBT is having a slight itch problem again.

SO my question is, one month of fishless main tank to kill itch too short?

Is it possible that the itch parasite may have infected the other LS in my tank (Namely shrimps, cuke and various LPS.) due to the absence of fishes?

Really getting on my nerves as i have no answer... hope u get can help.

one month is too short, you need 8 weeks.

in my encounter with ich parasite , they are controllable either by hypo or copper in my QT tank.

with garlicguard mysis and brine , frequent water change , and UV to bring the parasite under control.

How effective is UV in killing those free swimming ich and how can one chose the proper UV wattage against the size of the tank. Will UV kill good bacteria as well?
