2 more weeks, just to be safe. Not going through that again.

WHOOO--------HOOOOOO!!!
Next weekend all the fish go back into the display. Fish have been in quarantine now for 46 days, and all are healthy and fit. (no losses while in QT) Haven't seen a trace of Ich since the end of March. Although I love my corals and other inverts, a tank without fish in it just seems kind of empty. In hindsight, I think I may have saved my Chocolate Tang if I had removed them and treated them a little quicker.

Congrats man! Some serious patience you're showing there (or you're keeping yourself too drunk to care!)

Glad to hear!

I am happy to say I haven't seen any ich in my tank since mid March or so either but of course since I did not QT, I am sure its there. Just not seen. And if I don't add any more fish, it stays away.

Will be nice to know you should have an ich free tank!

Well, after 8 long weeks of quarantine the fishies are finally back in their home! Ich Free! (Yeeee Haaa!)
I am quite proud of myself for my patience and for the fact I never lost a single fish or coral in the process. I had to drain the tank and remove most of the rock and corals to get the fish out, then transfer them to the QT, treat them with Cupramine, and change water so often I should have bought stock in IO salt. A special THANK YOU to Dave (MrFish55) for the use of his 180 gal. Without a large QT I don't think I would have made it. So here are a few pics of the fish safe and sound back at home and a few new coral additions.
















I couldn't get a shot of the Sailfin and LM Blenny, but they are doing fine too.
