I had white spot in my DT back in February. My fish were caught and copper treated at the correct dose for the correct period (Cupramine was used) and have been in the QT tank since then. I had been building up my corals while they were in the QT and no fish has been in that tank since February, the last wet thing was put in over 12 weeks ago...
I moved the fish (a pair of clowns and a royal gramma) back to the DT 5 weeks ago - all good, then on Saturday I noticed a single white spot on my black snowflakes tail. I see no more. Today I think I see what looks like one on the edge of the orange snowflakes ventral fin, and one on the royal grammas tail.
One spot on each fish.
How likely is this to be white spot again? fallow for well over 6 months and nothing new introduced in over 12 weeks. I had separate equipment for each tank, always worked in the DT before the QT... I'm gutted if it is again
If it is...
I'm upgrading my tank soon to a DD 1500, new rock/substrate etc to cycle, but want to move the rockwork and corals over once I've got it established and introduced any additional corals or inverts I can in the early stages. If i remove the fish and treat again, and move over rock and corals over while no fish are in the new system, am i likely to transfer the white spot with them if its been fallow for 90 days? I just don't want this debacle again
