<img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" /> First.... As we know that Q is known to be a 10 gallon or whatsever, empty, provide something as a shelter, sponge air bubble or powerhead or empty hang-on filter.
As we know that after tank is being newly setted up and within an exception ammonia/nitrite/nitrate cicle will roller coaster.
When fish is sick and with freshly set up and fish have a " double" to battle with illness and the water cycle which is extremely hard on them.
I want to know how to set up a quarantine in right way and ensure that "hospital tank" is reliable when anything happen to fish without putting them thur the water cycle roller coastings and cause them much worser.
After treat the fish and move them to tank and How do I remove the medications, sterlize the water, and whatever. Should it be running just to be prepare for the next sick ones?
Should I forget the quarantine and buy an Acrylic hang on tank with little pump and put in tank with special attention for weeks before release the fish into the tank?
Other thing I read some thread about dipping the ick or new fish with fresh water to wash out any ick or as precaution. Care to share the produrce how to do correct without shock the fish before/after dip treatment.
Thanks
