I have a small Taiwan Reef in my 10-gallon quarantine tank that has ick. I bought him on Saturday. I noticed first spots on Wednesday. I am treating with salt/temp.
I am now a bit afraid I contaminated my main tank. I didn't use same nets or anything, but I do put my fingers into the tank when I feed and in all likelihood, at least at one point, I could have put my fingers back into the main tank after feeding the quarantine tank. No one in the main tank has spots. But this morning I saw one of my syno multipunctatus flash twice against the glass. I'd never seen him do that before. I'm now hysterical.
Can anyone talk me off the ledge?
Should I pre-emptively start treating main tank?
Is salt/temp the best way to go with synos or is there a better method???
