    How long do you QT for?

    6 weeks after no spots after the inital 10 days of QT, I raised the salinity level to match the display and its been there for 4 weeks spot free (10 weeks total spot free), so today would be a good moving day yes?

    How long do you QT for?

    I should have worded that differently... When I first bought the fish it was in QT for 3 days when the spots appeared, 1 day to lower gravity then 6 days until the last spot was seen and we are at ten weeks today with no spots... not includeing those 10 days. The tang showed the spots in QT...

    How long do you QT for?

    Well it's now 10 weeks(today) my yellow belly Hippo tang has been in qt, + 10 days when spots were seen and specific gravity was lowered for hypo. I guess Im getting anxious to get her in the DT already and Im wondering how long do you QT for? Ive already read and read but what do you do.

    Just an update

    I truely thought about skipping QT this time around ,Im so glad I didnt because she would have infected all the others in the tank. I will always QT from here on out.

    Need a little direction after testing

    that is meq/l I should have put that there.... Thats a good idea of balancing the fresh mix before adding never thought of that... Im going to have to decide what to get over at two-part,I like that concept. And for that red x for some reason Vista will not install that particular active X control .

    Need a little direction after testing

    Alk was tested twice as stated in the post and the Calcium was double checked after the post with the same results and your link doesnt work for me,all i get is a red X.

    Need a little direction after testing

    Seachem Reef salts, temporarally... Then Im going back to Oceanic,which also has been low on alk for me. You say "Plain old baking soda" what would the dosage be start with ?

    I should be good then,no new fish in a while and Im going to keep him in QT for three more weeks to be safe actually four if you count the time for the salt increase.

    Four weeks QT today.

    Can the ick be present even after two and half years in the main even though there has been no sight of it? If so then there is good chance I will be doing this again...

    Four weeks QT today.

    Well like the title says I have successfully kept a Yellow belly hippo alive and well in hypo for four weeks because of ick. Question is do I keep him there for one more week to be safe ( not a sign of ick to date) or do I start doing small water changes from the main to increase the salt level...
