can anyone tell me the steps to reacclimate the fish back from the quarentine tank. I know i need to gradually raise the salt to the level of the display. anything else?
Bring the SG up over a week or more. Use water from the DT for changes. Do very small changes twice a day, bringing it up no more than .002 per day. Once the SG in the QT is close to the DT then move the fish into a bucket of QT water. Drip acclimate the rest of the way. That is how I do it. If your QT and DT match every test then you can just move him. Be aware that nitrate, PH, and such matter. If they are not identical then the fish has to be acclimated.
