Ending fallow period

[icliao]

My new tank has been fishless since End December last year and March 5th is the time I added the last piece of coral. It will be 70 days soon. I am planning to do a black

molly test just to confirm everything is fine. Should I hold off further say 12 weeks? Or should I proceed right now? I went fishless mainly to avoid introducing fish diseases from all the new corals I added the last 3 months for total re-aquascaping.

I'd sit tight for the 12 weeks. won't hurt you any to be on the safe side.

You've gone 60+ days, what's another week and a bit. Wait 76 and then go for it. Great looking tank, those colonies are going to make a dream forest soon enough!

Time running out. Going on 3 weeks vacation on June 9th and have 24 fish in 6 QT waiting. No room for failure. Have a care taker but not for an emergency situation.

Ooh, that does complicate things, but that is also four weeks out. May 20th will be 76 days, you should be good then. Unless I mis-took that to mean your'e going to be gone till June 9th.

Leaving on the 9th.
