Adding fish.

I have a 90 that had an ick outbreak two weeks ago, i have all the fish in Qt. I plan on leaving the 90 gallon empty for six more weeks. When i add the fish back into the main tank how many should i add at a time and how long should i wait to add the others. I have a ceylon puffer, 3 chromis, a clown fish, and a coral beauty.

I would suggest adding a few flakes of food once a week to help keep the nitrifying bacteria going in you main. It will turn into a small ammonia source that will feed it. I would add them back maybe a few a week. Make sure to add the most aggressive ones last.

Agreed, maybe flakes twice a week in that large of a tank. Make sure you keep a check on your parameters, you don't wnat to add too much flake.
