I have one good question...

[Zagecko]

If my saltwater tank had sick fish with brooklynella 8 days ago can I put metroplex in the water to kill it?Exactly how much longer should I wait? if I add metroplex will it speed up the process? 2 of my fish survived and they are cured.

This is a bit tricky - what fish died, and what ones survived? What did you treat with initially? Time is usually the best "clearing agent" for past disease.

1 clownfish died
1goby died

1 clownfish survived
1goby survived

In my main tank they were eating metroplex, kanaplex, neoplex, with focus.

In the quarantine tank they were treated with rid-ick aka fermeldahyde. For only 3 days(in a row) because my goby was having a bad reaction and almost died.

So the surviving goby and clown are still in your QT and you want to move them back to your DT? Fallow time for this is not an exact science. 45 days at a minimum, some people would advocate longer. I don’t think you should try to clear your DT with chemicals....anything strong enough is going to harm your inverts.
