I have a 75g that has been set up for about five weeks now. I have 2 emperor 400 filters and a Fluval 404. When I changed over from fresh to salt my LFS traded my 4 biowheels for 4 from the store tanks to kick the cycle. I have 2 tank raised clowns, a royal grama, firefish and a coral beauty. The last addition was the coral beauty and it came from my sister in law that works for ***** setting up new stores. It was never in there tank, it came in and straight to me still in the bag. Well after it being in my tank for about a week I noticed a few small white spots. I went out and bought a 10 gallon setup (i know should have done it first but I am learning) and moved the beauty over to it and started cupramine treatments and have been checking everyday and adding as needed. It has been almost two weeks now in the Qt tank and I see no sopts at all. The problem now is today the other 4 fish in the display now have white spots. I have moved them over to the QT tank also tonight. My question is will the ICK in my main tank if there are any die off without a host after so long and if so how long? I have heard like 23 days. I have 6 turbo snails and about 30 hermits and about 55 pounds of base rock and 12 pounds live rock right now so i dont want to hit the main tank with the copper. I guess now I will keep doing the copper for another 14 days and leave the fish in the QT for another 2 to 3 weeks after that. Will this work for my main display and if not what other steps should I take.
Thanks for your time and replys if any
