Sad day. My fish only salt tank melted down due to Brooklynella. The only survivor was the camel shrimp.
I have set up the isolation tank to temporarily house the shrimp until I can restart the main tank. the specs are:
20 gallon glass rectangle set up for 9 months
Penguin 125 hang on back with bio-wheel
undergravel filter with shallow (3") aragonite sand bed
Red Sea test kit
PH 8.3
Alk High (f'ing nondescript scale)
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
No meds in the tank ever
Specific Gravity 1.022
What is the best way to deal with this fish scourge? I would like to populate the tank with 15 lbs live rock (if I can talk the wife into it), 2 clowns (percula or ocellus), 1 yellow tail blue damsel, and a citroen (sp?) goby or fairy basslet. Should I:
Bleach the tank
fresh water shock the tank for about a week
raise the temp to over 90 deg F for a week
or let it lay fallow for a month (on week into the month already)?
