Ur tang carries ich. U need to quarantine them with cupramine for 2 weeks. If ur display tank is infected, u need to quarantine all ur fishes and leave ur display tank without fish for 6-8 weeks. If it’s only fish only tank, u can add cupramine into ur dp directly

To add on, even if it’s a fish-only, treating your entire Display tank will no doubt also kill any clean-up crew and other misc. invertebrates within the rock which in smaller systems would cause an Ammonia/nitrite spike which could potentially wipe the whole system. A treatment QT is ideal

Yes. You best bet right now, remove all fishes from DP and quarantine them with cupramine for 2 weeks. Then leave display tank empty for 6-8 weeks. Invertebrates are fine continue living in DP. 

Quarantine all newly bought fishes in future. 2 weeks is better than letting ich kill ur fishes slowly and going on 6-8weeks without fishes. 

I learned my lesson the hard way. Don't take my path. :mellow:

But if u buy new coral that come with ick it will come all over again for the best way to treat it is feed them good food to increase immune systems to fight ick

True indeed. While far less likely than it coming from infected fish, there is still a chance that the ich parasite cysts are on the rock or structure that the coral comes on, just like any other coral parasite. Some say dips work the same on ich, but from what I’ve read, they are immune in their cyst stage to even 30min freshwater baths. Only drying them out will completely kill them, which is of course impossible in this case without killing your livestock as well. In an ideal world we’d quarantine even corals, but I’m sure only the most extreme of us would go to such lengths hahaha.

What you could do at the very least to lower the chances of ich entering your system through new corals/rock is place your coral/rock in a holding tank with water from your main display for a few hours after dipping them in a coral dip, with no fishes. Isn’t foolproof but might help a bit.

Hi, if i transfer my fish to my hospital tank which I applied cupramine. Can i add cupramine at my dp tank as well?


Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app

Ideally you would only dose cupramine/misc. copper treatments in your hospital tank, because even if your system is a fish-only, if you wanna add corals and other invertebrates in the future, you’re gonna need to clean out your entire tank because things like algae and rocks absorb copper as well and may leach them out in the future

Hi..is it a good idea if i copper treatment every fish before entering dp tank?

Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app



A half dose(or specifically 0.2-0.3mg/L) of copper in your quarantine tank for a week or two generally does the trick to prevent the spread of potential ich from new fish
