Might have to eat my own words re: quarantine

So this means you've had no more deaths? That would be great.
There's been so much x-tra chatter in this thread that I haven't been keeping up.

lol Ya, the fish remaining seem to be good, they're eating and playing and doing fish stuff. The yellow tang seems a bit off food still, but no more bumps or dots or powdery skin.

Do you think a UV or Ozone on the main tank would help during the fallow period?

I don't see it hurting as far as 'bad critters' goes, but it will also kill off good bacteria. And especially since they aren't multiplying as much when it's fallow, my thought is, unless you are in a hurry, it may cause some unwanted die off.
Wouldn't most bad critters die off eventually on their own?

They will, but there also isn't any appreciable amount of good bacteria in the water column to worry about. Not really in a rush, other than getting the remaining goby out...

Excellent.
And for the chatter, I tried to read it all, and it's good reading.
But sometimes ya get too busy and have to skim the content.
