Need help

[memphissmc]

Hello all, need some advice please. I have ich in my tank and im tired of battling it. I've come to the conclusion the only way to fully eradicate it is to pull all fish and let the tank sit for the 78 days (i think). My question is this.. do I need to pull all corals or can they stay? I've read where there can be on them through a stage but don't host on the corals themselves like it does with fish.

Never have had to do this so im def a rook with this one. Tangs and fox that showed signs are in a 20l long hospital tank with prazi and cupramine. All others that have no signs are in a 40 gal. Didnt want to put everything in the 20 because I thought it would be way too much.

Thanks in advance for any help with this!

The corals stay in your display tank.

What you want to accomplish is known as Fallow. With Fallow, you are removing the fish and leaving corals and Inverts in display tank without any medication. The new standard is 45-60 days (used to be 76) at 80.5 degrees to eradicate and cysts and trophants breaking their life cycle with no host
For fish, treat with coppersafe for Full 30 days at 80 degrees at therapeutic level of 2.25-2.5 monitoring with a reliable copper test kit (no api brand) Assure in QT, to monitor ammonia levels

With the pazi, you want to increase aeration via air stone as prazi will reduce both oxygen and appetite
