Ich

[Sethbrown]

I had a problem with ich in my 75 gallon tank. Killed all but 1 fish. Hes been in quarentine alone with 2 others ive gotten since Feb.8th. The tank has been running a steady 78-79 degrees F. Safe to put the fish back in? Or wait?

76 days is the correct fallow time (no fish).

Fish will need to be tested with copper. I recommend copper power and a Hanna copper checker (to reliably keep at 1.75ppm).

@HotRocks @Commander86 and I are in Indiana as well.

Display should stay fishless for a min of 76 days before you add them back to it.

There’s no point in leaving it fishless if you add fish untreated to the tank afterward you’ll be in the same boat again.

Sorry, that won’t do anything.

Also I suspect you’re dealing with velvet based on it wiping out your fish, for what it’s worth.
