Crappy news!! Hope that works out for you. What kind of filtration have you got on the treatment tank? I lost half my fish from a poorly planned treatment tank...

RDNanoGuy 04-09-2012 12:25 PM

Hospital tank is set up as follows:

55 gal tank 50% tank water 50% new aged SW
Filtration is a magnum HOB cannister filled with filter floss and
A sponge filter I keep in my sump for emergencies.
200 watt heater set to 82'.
Also I've got a remora nano HOB skimmer on there, not to skim really just to oxygenate the water more.
A few chunks of dry Marco rock as hiding places.

Currently I'm mixing more SW so I can do small daily water changes too.

Filter is a good start. I had none, so NH3 went through the roof and added the final blow to kill most of the fish.

Well a bit of an update.

Day 2 of copper treatment and no deaths! The fish looked a little better today and they all ate some food. Mixed up a custom nutritional mush for them consisting of seafood chunks nori algae wafers selcon and garlic.

Total deaths so far:

Powder Blue Tang (aka Bluey)
2 domino damsels

I will be keeping the fish in quarantine for 8 weeks to let all the cysts in the display die off. It looks so quiet!

that part really sucks. I'm at week 5 now...

RDNanoGuy 04-11-2012 04:47 AM

Brad are you doing 8 weeks too? That seems be the concensus from what I've read but some say 10?

Aquattro 04-11-2012 04:56 AM

I read 42 days somewhere, 8 weeks was being safe. Not sure where I found that though.
