Myths and Facts about Marine Ich.

[seatrueblue]

I quarantined my chrysopterus aka ( blue striped clowns) in a 29 gallon tank for 16 weeks.
I know, way longer than they should be quarantined. 8 weeks after I started to quarantine my clowns I read this article. It inspired me to have an ich free aquarium. Sooo..I made my 120g go fishless for 8 weeks as well..sigh. It was a long wait but now I am rewarded with an ich free aquarium.

oh btw I used cupramine to get rid of the ich that my chrysopterus were infested with. The ich almost killed them. A couple of hours after I properly dosed the 29g with cupramine my fish were getting relief. Their breathing turned back to normal and their scales started to slim off the ich. The very next day they were looking so much better that they actually wanted to eat again. If you use cupramine..read the instructions carefully. Your quarantine must not have any live rock or live sand for it to be a proper quarantine tank. Just some pvc pipes, artificial aquascape, air stone and filtration.

The only thing this link doesn't tell you about cupramine..is to measure cupramine with ml not drops. If you measure it in drops you can overdose the quarantine tank.
