fallow 76 plus days questions

[commanderwho]

Hello,
So I started the fallow period due to ich and also brooklynella. I didn't expect brooklynella but it came out of nowhere? How did I get it when I was just dealing with ich? My clowns where healthy and did not have any ich. Only fish that had ich was the royal gramma. Then one day after work one of the clowns was covered with this cloudy look! Still eating but i can see he was breathing pretty fast.

anways during this fallow period do I still do my weekly water change or should bi weekly be okay? I only have 4 trochus snails, 2 cerith snails, 2 nassarius snails, 2 blue legged and 2 scarlet hermits with corals. I am also adding my extra koralia to the tank for dead spots to make sure I remove the parasites. I also added an aquashield innovative marine 9 watt UV sterilizer in the first chamber of my waterbox 20 cube.
thanks!

You can stick to your normal WC schedule. Doesn’t really matter if you do biweekly or not. Just take care not to cross contaminate with your Qt tank. Keep it at least 10ft away from DT also. I would also periodically blast a powerhead through the rock and substrate. We don’t want any dead or stagnant areas in your DT while letting it go fallow. Have any pics of the fish?

Good idea on the Koralia to keep it well circulated.
