Hi guys,
I've decided it would be cheaper and much more fun to catch my fish for my tank...I'm in Hawaii, so there is quite a selection to choose from...
That being said, now that my tank is running, I want to quarantine any new fish coming into the tank...I'd hate to introduce something bad that would kill all my hard work..
I was told by the LFS to use Furazone and then quick-cure. I was told the Furazone will help heal any cuts/etc(I hook most of the fish) and the quick-cure would kill any parasites. They also mentioned that I couldn't run both chemicals at the same time...is that true?
Besides that, I was told to run each chemical for 2 days; another fish collector told me one day of each would be good enough as these are hardy reef fish. Do you think 24 hours of each would be long enough?
Also, do you think there are any other chemicals I should use on the quaratined fish to make sure they are not going to destroy my established tank? BTW, I only have fish, no inverts...
Thanks so much!
