Has anyone ever gone fallow to eradicate any infections before? I have a 75g (48in x 18in x 21in)that has an outbreak of ich. Normally the tank is at 77.5 degrees. Ph 8.4 0 nh4 0 no2 10- 20 no3. Gh 9 and Kh 5 I do weekly water changes 30- 40 percent with prime. It is stocked currently with 12 peacock and haps all are about 3in currently.
I have a 55g that I recently acquired that I would like to use in the interim to house these guys while I leave the 75g fallow room starve out the ich. Unfortunately the 55g is not cycled. I have extra filters running that are seeded with bacteria but I'm afraid they might be housing the protozans.
Am I better off treating the 75 with heat and salt or should I try and move them over?
Thanks
