clean tank w/10% bleach

1. Fill QT with water from the display tank or make up fresh saltwater.
2. Start bio-filter (add sponge from display tank to QT and run it).
3. Tests: ammonia, nitrite, pH, specific gravity, and temperature of the QT water.
4. Make adjustments as needed.
5. The QT is ready for use

If its only one fish, freshwater dip does wonders too

remeber to increase temperature if using hyposalinity

Is not too bad...started with 1 tang now another has it so is spreading
im already on garlic/selcon diets
and my cleaner shrimp is garbage... doesn't do anything at all eventho my fish literally parks itself right infront of him...
i figure the QT is the only way to cure it 100%
how big of a tank should i need ?
