Over the last few weeks I have tried every remedy bar copper to rid my ivestock while in dt. The reality Is I have been too arrogant and impatient to quarantine livestock before putting it into my tank. I lasted seven years without an incident and then I got whitespot. Wanting to take the lazy way I threw money at the problem hoping that all the remedies on the shelf would cure the whitespot. In the meantime the fish suffered and some died. And with all the remedies my spses suffered too. Over a period of the last four days. I lost R30 000 of sps. Replacement cost ..... who knows. What have I learned? To cure a problem in your tank rather ensure it doesnt happen by quarintining fish properly and dipping all corals before putting them in your tank. I got a tank from 459b today and finally I am setting up a quarantine tank. I will remove the most of my liverock tonight and catch all fish and put them into copper medicated tank and let my tank and corals recover over the next three months before returning surviving fish to dt. All I can say is that a comment without experience is just that. A comment based on experience is good advice. To the guys who dont quarantine... dont wait for the wakup call. Put the right procedures in place. Thanks Riaanp for advice. Spsmad for all the help and 459b for helping with tank at the drop of a hat.
