When ???

Hey guys.

HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE. MY BEST WISHES TO ALL. HAPPINESS, PROSPERITY, AND LOVE.

Today is the third week since my last fish died from ICH, I think.

The maroon clown in the anemone survived and it's doing great.

How long more should I wait before I add the first fish to my tank?

This time I will add a fish a month. Is that OK?



Thank you.

Alfredo

No. The fallow period most people mention applies to a tank with no fish present.

Quarantine tank

I left my old 40 gallons reef tank for quarantine.
It has everything. Live rock, Live Sand, Skimmer, Metal halydes, Sump, etc
Should I take the rocks and sand out?
Another thing:
Can the maroon be a host to ich, all thou he's in the anemone?
How much longer should I wait?
I don't mind waiting beacuse I don't want another holocaust.
Just want to learn how long it takes for ich to die and for the tank to cycle.

Thanks for the advise. It will be taken.

The maroon is a fish- the fish is in your tank- YOU have NOT started the QT untill ALL FISH are OUT of the tank!
You can leave everything in the tank BUT THE FISH!:hug:

A clownfish in an anemone can be a ich host.

Imposible

There's no way I can get the maroon clown out without destroying my whole tank.
150 pound of rocks with 36 corals attach to them.
It's impossible.

Try a fish trap. Since it's the only fish in the tank, a no-feeding regimen for a few days mayl make it hungry enough to enter a trap.

Also, you know where it sleeps. It should be easy enough to snag it out of the anemone at night.

u seem like you wanna make it different this time but u are to freakin stubborn to get ur clown out and worried about a little work... as already said with all the great advice here read the info and do it right.. stop trying to do things ur way which you already have seen did not work at all... u lost many fish which shouldnt of died but have perished..

sorry for the rant but u keep asking for advice and all i see is just *********... u need to get that clown fish out and wait the desired time with no fish at all in the tank.....

do things the right way and you will most likely have a succesfull tank ..

happy easter and good luck
