    I FW dip and QT. The dip is to remove any unseen parasites. I also use methylene blue in the dip which is antigungal and antibacterial. It also increases oxygen transport for the fish in fresh water.

    I think if you just QT for 2-3 weeks your ok. I'm just anal about my tank after fighting ich for a yr with hundreds of dollars of fish at stake.

    Understandable, I wouldn't want to have to fight ich.

    I'm going to dose with Mela-Fix for 3 days, that's what the bottle recommends for new arrivals. Or is it Prima-Fix, I forget, I know the bottle though.

    I'm going to order some pods, too bad I don't have room for a refugium, not with the chiller pump and all the extra tubing.

    I just added part of my clean up crew.

    100 Blue Leg Hermits
    5 Astrea Snails
    3 Turbo Snails
    2 Sally Lightfoots

    I've got 2 cleaner shrimp coming in on Thursday.

    I'm sure they will eat some of the copepods too.
