![]() I have never quarantined anything for over 4 years and have been lucky, but luck runs out. My skimmer pump blew up over night while I was sleeping, tripping the breaker. 8 hours later without any power all the fish have ich and look close to death. Such a sick feeling. Lost 3 fish so far and the rest are bouncing back. Its been a month since this happened. System is a 210 gallon mixed reef.

![]() I did NOT QT before and after my recent DISASTER, I will QT everything before even thinking put anything new in my DT. I lost more than half of my fish population to ick. did not act fast enough when I saw the first signs of it on some fish. A week later many of them were dropping like flies. Its a disturbing feeling knowing that because of my stupidity of not wating to QT because of was too "hard" I lost half of my fish to ick. I did treat my tank with herbatana with somewhat good results, I think that saved one of my hippo tangs that it was almost covered it of that nasty stuff but I lot others died anyways. Now I'm treating with UV lights and its making wonders, ick has retreat it and remaining fish look way better now. QT QT QT QT QT from now on.
