I resently began changing my fish only tank (55gal) to reef . I replaced the undergravel filter with LS, and added a wet/dry, every thing was fine waited about 3 weeks, I then added one small piece of live rock , couple weeks every thing still fine . I then added a tang which I now believed introduced ICK to the tank and lost all my fish. I have since added 20 lbs of live rock and a couple of shrimp ( hope to add at least 25 lbs more of rock).
Should I wait until all my rock has been added to put fish in , or can I slowly replace fish as I built the reef??
If adding fish is OK , don't I need to wait at least 4 weeks to be sure the ICK is gone??
