My 72 bowfront is sitting fallow for 44 more days after a ich disaster took my stock at warp speed. Yesterday after sitting through 6 hrs of dental seminars I stopped by the LFS to pick up my 2 spot Bristlletooth tang that had been held in CopperPower for a week. He went into my QT and will be there for the duration of the 72s fallow period. The Bristletooth shows no outward signs of problems at this time but I have the Qt med cabinet stocked with Paragaurd, copperPower, coral dip and PrasiPro dewormer for furture problems.
He went into hiding behind a ceramic coffee mug I placed in the tank for just that purpose and I will be testing water daily and doing changes as needed to maintain Am, Ni, Na, and Ph levels. Tank temp is 76F and hydrometer reads 1.25. I saw no need to further stress the tang with hypo since he has been being treated with copper at the LFS.
Comments welcome.
