all my fish died ):

[flobup]

so I made the newbie impatient mistake of not using a QT tank for new fish. my tank was running fine for 3 months, nice coral growth all fish were happy until... I put this dang trigger in there and he gave them all something, not sure what it was, maybe fluke, maybe ich. I tried to treat the ones I could catch but they ended up all dying. currently thers no fish in my tank... how long should I wait before adding anymore new ones?

72 days, sorry for your losses

ok, corals, shrimp snail, crabs, and hermits should be fine right? and is it also safe to keep adding coral?

No fish in the main tank for 76 days. Inverts and corals is fine. You can add more corals and inverts but every time you do , the timer resets . So , get the corals and inverts you want now and start the timer

Agreed. Mourn and move on.

That’s what I’m doing. Made the same mistake as you @flobup . Lost all my fish this week and will be starting over following @Humblefish ’s QT protocol.

Lesson learned!

Sorry as well. Every experience bad and good will make you that much better a reefer.

We all experience loss at some point and it makes us all smarter to a degree. The reason for 73 says uh f any parasites present, there will be No hosts to feed them
