ok guys i finally got all the ick of my blue tang and it is not on any of my other fish (chromies and cleaner wrasse) which is great i have been ick free for 4 days. I was and still treating with a reef safe product (myzine) and it seems to have done the trick.
the question i have is I know you are suppose to leave the the tank fishless for 8 weeks which would indicate that the parasite is gone. But i also know that it needs a fish to host it, within a short time frame. Being that this hasnt happened in the last 4 days does this mean that they are dead???
i dont wanna put fish in for a good 8 weeks anyways i just want to know this ordeal is over.
