impur Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Sorry to hear, good luck with treating. On the bright side, if you use proper QT procedures on all future livestock you won't ever have to deal with this again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoralCrazy Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Stop by the store and get a tank. I believe we have some in the basement so you can start the QT right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facilier Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Sorry to hear, good luck with treating. On the bright side, if you use proper QT procedures on all future livestock you won't ever have to deal with this again another thing you can do which is probably going to be very effective is pick up a UV Sterilizer if you haven't already gotten one. In addition you can raise the temp in your tank after adding the UV to assist in rapid eradication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
