Hi, having had a tank wipe out early this year(White Spot), disheartened I placed my live rock in storage (water butt with circulation pump, heater and skimmer). Recently I decided that I wanted to give this wonderful hobby another go, but this time to be super stringent with my QT to ensure I hopefully would never have to go through such a heart wrenching experience again. I've Setup my QT Tank with specs below. This Tank will be running permanently once it is cycled(Fishless) and I am intending to do a 6 week QT on all fish With 6 weeks prophylactic treatment with prazi (2 weeks) and then Chloroquine Sulphate (4 Weeks). I will add initial Inverts and coral to the DT the same time the first fish goes into QT tank and then not add anymore till i'm able to put together some sort of frag/Invert QT tank seperately. I had a few questions which i hoped i could get help with
a) Is my stocking list ok for a tank this size with the given equipment and live rock.
b) I've numbered the stocking list in order I intend to add the fish with each number being the fish that would go into that quarantine group. Is this ok given my QT setup.
c) Is 6 weeks enough to ensure any Ich that may have hitchhiked on any inverts and corals is gone.
d) Is it ok to put some live rock in my sump, I've heard mixed opinions some say it's fine others say It will act as a trap for detritus.
