    Yep: Sorry for your loss. I learned my lesson about QTing everything. I lost some fish....now my main tank is fallow till January and my fish are in the quarantine tank. Just took out the copper today. I am choosing to wait 2 months before I introduce any fish in my main tank. Even with a new 25 watt UV unit. This wont happen to me again....at least not for lack of quarantine.

    I share your grief and fully understand your frustration!

    Jay

    Congrats BL [smiley=party014.gif]
