how long to leave a tank fallow

I went 8 weeks and was good on re-introduction. A lot of people recommend 10 just to be safe, I mean you already waited 6 right ... whats two more to make sure.

I had one fish in my tank though, a longnose hawkfish that I just couldn't catch, and disassembly wasn't an option. He never showed even the slightest sign, and must have been immune ... because when I started adding fish 8 weeks later everything was good.

This was about 8 months ago ... the tank is restocked and doing well.

that sucks man, i know the pain. we can do a fallow count down together. I've been 4 weeks empty and is seem like forever i think another 6 weeks is going to kill me.
