Question about fallow tank an reintroduction of fish

Bike2k · 01/05/2013, 08:32 AM

My 75g DT will be fallow while I treat for ich. How do I keep the bacteria levels high so that when I reintroduce my 6 fish I don't have a huge cycle? should I be ghost feeding? I will be feeding some as i have a fuzzy mushroom coral, 2 shrimp and some hermits along with the snails.
