April Fool MEEEE

[john,jr]

Ok I am a stupid. I upgraded to a 100 gal. Same fish same live rock same live sand. I had 3 tanks and combined them into one FOWLR. I traded all my corals so they dont worry me. I do have some hermits and sales and shrimp. Now tonight as I turned the lights off and the lunars were on I spotted ICK on almost all my fish. My ? is if I copper will I ever be able to have a cleanup crew again????

I have personally heard dont you copper if you have inverts, because it absorbed my the silicon in the tank and I think the live rock too, and even after it is "gone" the Lr, silicon release it into the water, which is bad for any inverts you may have.
You might want to post this again in the Disease and Treatment forum, or ask the mods to move it for u

Since it is a fowler and you will have to remove your cleanup crew to do copper treatment anyway, why don't you just run hypo on your DT after you remove your inverts. That way you treat the ick and don't have to worry about copper in the live rock and silicone, ect after you are done treating. Either that or remove the fish to a quarentine/hospital tank to treat? I am not sure if you would ever be able to keep a cleanup crew if you treated with copper, it just seems that you may not have to risk it. HTH.
