Just noticed that my original post to @PerplexyHexy disappeared while the double and triple remained. Strange.
Sucks about your Mimic.

Wow man so sorry to hear thathow has your temperature been down there? That’s what I think started all my issues was warm temps giving an environment for parasites to blow up.
How warm did your tank get @Hemmdog ?

It was over 80 for 6 days. I’m guessing 85, Ranco doesn’t log historical temps unfortunately.

Everyone survived last night. My abt actually looks much visually better somehow and is swimming more than he has been. Petco didn’t have stands in stock for any hospital tank bigger than a 20 so I had to rush order one, it should be here this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Hopefully my fish can hang in there until then. Thank you for checking in

No need for a stand. Tbh you can QT in a brute container.

I was considering that.. but that was going to be my rock holder when I’m catching fish, I suppose I can get another one. I don’t have like shelving or anything in my house that could hold a tank, that’s why I ordered the stand.
Yea, my QTs take up dressers, counters, lol wherever I can stick them for a few weeks

That was the case for me. U can leave them on the floor and just observe from above but it's a pain. And we wanna see our friends without breaking our backs!
If u weren't on the other side of the country theres a guy in CT in a local club that is selling the exact same 29g bow front tank and stand as I have for my qt.
Anyways..
You can build a cheap stand for the weight requirements of a 20g. It's only like 130lbs. Or buy a plastic one for 40 bucks at home depot that meets the critea.

I ordered the same one I did for my 40b build, it’s $50 and super sturdy a metal frame. I hadn’t considered a 30bow, that would of worked pretty good actually.

Nicee haha. It’s a balancing act of keeping the wife happy over here too. For awhile I was running 190 gallons in our 1000sqft condo lol, she wasn’t happy. This will be an exception but I can’t take over the kitchen anymore than my reefing stuff already has haha.Yea, my QTs take up dressers, counters, lol wherever I can stick them for a few weeks
It would be great if he’s building some resistance... but, keep in mind that these things come on in waves, a large portion of the parasites probably dropped back down to reproduce in the substrate.
The surviving fish might be able to develop some temporary immunity, but you’d always have the chance of this happening again down the road with any type of stress-event like this
