    No mine stayed in for well over a month/close to 2 months.. I was saying I should have pulled them out earlier and was making an estimate. I stated in my original post that I can't remember exactly the time frame unless I can find my original thread. I do know I ended up leaving them in QT too long and they died.

    I used a 5 gallon bucket with a small powerhead blowing towards the surface to add oxygen.

    This disease spread fast. Hopefully you can contain it and nurse the rest back to health. You will also have a quarantine set up as well to make sure it doesn't happen again. Stick with it. Sorry for your losses.

    Yeah i did 3 months way back when i was dealing with it .
    I have seen some articles stating that it died off in as little as 10 days ,but the life cycle off it is hard to follow ..

    yep from now on everything goes in the quarantine tank.
    I'm giving it everything I got to save these guys. that's gotta count for something on the karma meter.
    thanks everybody.

    From my experience, once there were severe signs on the fish it proved to be too late but the tang had limited signs and the chromis had no signs of it yet and made it through treatment just fine. It would nice to hear you saved your survivors. good luck

    Well a little good news today. Vlamingii tang looks like he's improving and chromis and hawkfish don't show any signs as of now. They are all going in qt tonight to continue treatment. I'm not holding my breath but as of now I might be able to save them.
