Having experienced an Ich outbreak, I found that polylab medic, metroplex and a good UV can beat it no problem.
So now I treat the whole tank any time I add a new fish and turn the UV flow down for at least a month.
Since implementing this practice I’ve not lost a single fish.
I’ve heard (but yet to see evidence) that Ich can be transferred by coral, in which case QTN is not possible and ultimately QTN fish is pointless.
I do have a friend that added a large coral from a very well known Portuguese supplier that basically infected his entire tank with Brookynella and wiped out every single fish.
IMO, the reason people fail with QT is impatience, laziness and lack of preparation with equipment and the needed medications. Get the fish eating first, do one medication at a time, test and maintain per the online recommendations and you’re set. Shortcuts and rushing is why people have little success with it. I’ve had great success following the instructions available online.
Agree 100%. For example the Humble Fish's Hybrid Tank Transfer Method has been working great for me. Sure one need two QT setups to pull it off and some work but the amount of actual work needed is not as much as one would initially think. I have even taken my snails and hermits together with fish with no issues to make sure nothing sneak in. Also there is no need to treat with copper with this method. With the expense of copper treatment, Hanna tester etc needed for copper treatment one can get a second hand tank for qt and a heater and small power filter to run the second qt. What i've found important is to have seeded filter foam well prepared before running the qt. To help with possible ammonia spike Tropic Marin brown sludge bacteria has helped me.
I like your videos keep them coming
I love your content, something about the way you read and format the script is very soothing and easy to absorb. Very informative and beautiful video.
Great Video
Bulk reef supply have a great instruction video on this. Really breaks it down to show how easy it is.
Love your videos.
From the great Humblefish once at therapeutic copper level.
Day 1 - x2 metroplex

Day 5 - x2 metroplex
Day 7 - x2 metroplex
Day 9 - x2 metroplex

Great video. Do you have any plans or advice on how to prophylactically treat uronema?
Formalin bath - 30 mins, then place in QT tank with metro.
couple of questions, how do you feel about cuprimin? and doyou not do water changes for the 30 days?
My tanks got a few more days of being cycled and I've decided to go for the QT route. What's your opinion on quarenteening coral or inverts?
So what are new fishes you're going to add ?
The same set of angels ?
Great video Ryan. I feel like you have the start of a “simplifying reefing” series here!
I've tried it only take one or forget it's the stress or moving fish I never bought a fish with white spot or velvet but 2 days later bam I used to buy fish years ago and the seller put a couple of drops of something called stress xyme or something but sellers all lie they don't tell you when they have arrived to shop I used to put a deposit and go bk a couple of weeks and I only buy fish from treated separate fish systems
What about other medications like prazi
If I build a quarantine fish tank, what should I do with the tank after each quarantine?
Since there is mature filter material in the fish tank, can I just change 100% of the water to remove the residual drugs in the water? Thank you
Why don’t you also do a 100% water change after copper treatment is done, clean equipment and change media, then dose fluke solve? Completely eliminate flukes and the internal worms? Adds 7-8 days on top but gets rid of the flukes the freshwater dip doesn’t
Easiest method but now only just implementing it? 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤯
