marrone The All Powerful OZ Staff member Vendor Manhattan Reefs Real Reefer Supporter Location The Big City Rating - 98.8% 80 1 0 Jul 2, 2006 #4 FW dips don't work, you need to give a FW bath of around 20-25 min. Make sure the Ph is adjusted to 8.0-8.4. as well as the temp. Unless you suspect some thing is wrong with the fish just QT it for 2 - 4 weeks. If you suspect there is some thing wrong then you can start to treat.
