Lets say...you have a 180/200gl tank. You run a good cycle w/ a few damsels, let it age a couple months, add just enough lr/ls in it, buy all the right filters, and equipment needed and so on and so on. Then after all that, you start buying fish,about 2-4 weeks apart or more, quarantine them for three weeks each with hyposalinity or a SWF recommended bacteria/parasite fighting product, and THEN put them in the main tank and maintain it to the best of care. Will they STILL be prone to ick? Or any other parasites/bacteria? I just don't understand what would bring these BAD,BAD things to my fishies! Is it even possible to make your tank parasite proof? Is this a stupid question? I hope not! Please help me out here. Or tell me where I can go to get ALOT of info on preventing these things.I'm starting a new tank and I want to do it RIGHT this time!!! THANX for any replies!
