The Ich epidemic wasn't getting any better. I was running a 25 watt UV sterilizer 24/7; a diatom filter for several hours every day; large water changes every 3 to 4 days; soaked food in garlic and Selcon; and provided nori every day. I lost my Chocolate Tang, and the Sailfin and Harlequin Tuskfish are in bad shape. A fellow reefer was good enough to lend me his spare 180 gal which I set up in the garage. Today I transferred all the fish over to the 180 where they will remain for 8 weeks leaving the display fallow. I began treating them with Cupramine and am keeping my fingers crossed, hoping I don't lose any more fish. It was a big job, but I felt it needed to be done. Thank-Yous go to MrFish55 (Dave) and Marie for all their help. It is very much appreciated.
Does anyone know what the shelf life of Cupramine is?
