Seeding fishless cycling tank with gravel from itch treated 2nd tank?

Hi All,

I was just wondering. I'm currently cycling my 55gal (fishless ), but as luck will have it, I got itch in my other tank. I have been treating it for a couple of days now, and things seem to be going much beter. I'm using Itch Attack that is not suppose to mess with the biological system. All my water parameters are normal. No ammonia, no nitrites.

My question is, can I still use some of my established tank's gravel to speed up seeding of my new tank? since there will be no hosts for the remaining itch "thingy's" to even survive in the new tank.

Thanks,
Riaan

I would probably hold off doing that until you are absolutely sure that it is all gone. So give it a week or two after you think that the ICH has completely been treated.
