Possibly shutting down my tank, or upgrading

[Shark Bait]

After adding a sailfin and angel my tank went down south real fast. The only fish the survived the ick outbreak was my purple firefish, diamond goby, and scooter blenny. A couple people convinced me now to give up and give it one more shot so im going to upgrade from a 60 to a 90 gallon reef ready tank. My only question at this point is would transferring the "three fish" i have remaining plus sand make ick present in the new tank as well?

even just one piece of rock in to the new tank will bring ich to unhappy fish

 

[drunkintimmy]

i would definitely use new sand

I have read numerous times to keep a tank fishless for 8 weeks and the ick will die off. So could i QT firefish, diamond goby, and scooter blenny? Would that reduce my odds of transferring ick to an unhappy fish in new tank?

QT fish and treat with Hypo or medication. Keep DT fishless for 8-10 weeks.

 

[acrofragger]

yes that sounds better ,tranfer everything ...and leave the display fishless why you treat you sick fish

I would just start from scratch

If i transfer rock/sand and inverts to new display while i QT the rest that would basically be like starting from scratch wouldnt it?
