Chris OB Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 So I posted in the plant section earlier, I have plants arriving this week and just noticed a spot of ich on one of my fish, I just recently finished with 2 rounds of treatment using fixick which obviously didn’t do the trick. I’m thinking of using a spare tank to now quarantine the plants instead of setting it up as a fish quarantine tank, but I’ve had a sponge filter going in my main tank and was just about ready to set it up, my question is should I wait to transfer my artificial plants and a couple rocks I was gonna use to jump start the cycle or just wait till everything has gone through the Ich-X treatment, and just cycle the quarantine tank from scratch with the plants in there temporarily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenFins Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 You could always take the decor out, and then let it dry. That should kill it off. Also the meds should too, but to be safe I would do the leting it dry out method. Also if your just quarinting plants, no need to cycle the tank or have the filter pre-seeded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
