Tank Transfer Method Exception, 3rd or 5th Day

Ocelaris · Jul 17, 2016

So I'm in a bind, we're going on away for a weekend and the 3rd transfer was set to be on next Sunday morning. i.e. I started it this Sunday, the 4th day would be Wednesday, then 7th would be the following Sunday. I can either do a transfer on Friday (day 3 or Sunday night, day 7). Is either an acceptable alternative or am I going to have to start all the way back to square one? I just don't quite grasp the trophant/cyst stage enough to make an educated guess here.

I have a yellow Tang and 2 ocellaris clownfish, they've been in the QT tank for 2 weeks without any sign of infection and eating well. I plan on doing Formalin and Prazi Pro during the later stages of transfers.

Thanks!

You can always do a transfer sooner than the 3 days, but not after that time. So you can do that transfer on friday, then again on sunday when you get home. You would then continue on like normal from there.

+1 During the 13 days, you can do as many transfers as you like. Even daily. But under no circumstances can you exceed 72 hrs in-between transfers. If this happens, you must start over.
