This is coming from the guy that told me that all you need in a QT is a bit of LR and a powerhead.

Also the same guy that told me that "Yeah, Rid-Ich+ is REEF SAFE"

However, you have taught me to take ANY advice from you with a grain of salt. A very VERY SMALL grain of salt.

Your tank should be fine after being fallow for 9 weeks. Hopefully you have learned the lesson and will quarantine in the future. No point in going fallow and still continuing to add "dirty" fish.

His fish had Marine Velvet IIRC. Ich isn't even "the bad one", MV is waaaaaay scarier and much more deadly simply because it kills so fast. Fish can also be a carrier for MV without showing any signs themselves. The next worst thing about MV is that treatment options are Formalin dips (my preferred method) or copper treatment (which I won't do). Neither are reef-safe, and neither are very simple as each treatment has its own complications.
