Tank Fallow for 9 Weeks Now, Safe to Re-Introduce Fish?

[Flash]

i'm bad for not qt'ing my fish.... but i also only will take home healthy fish with no visable signs of disease, and the fish must eat... i check all fins, see how it swims with other fish! i'm sure it'll be slightly different with the 6' tank whenever i get that going!!!!

That's how I selected the Tang that killed my entire tank...now everything gets quarantined and treated before going in the display..

Your tank should be fine after being fallow for 9 weeks. Hopefully you have learned the lesson and will quarantine in the future. No point in going fallow and still continuing to add "dirty" fish.

His fish had Marine Velvet IIRC. Ich isn't even "the bad one", MV is waaaaaay scarier and much more deadly simply because it kills so fast. Fish can also be a carrier for MV without showing any signs themselves. The next worst thing about MV is that treatment options are Formalin dips (my preferred method) or copper treatment (which I won't do). Neither are reef-safe, and neither are very simple as each treatment has its own complications.
