Fallow My tank

I am getting set to remove all fish from my 125 and let it set for 30-45 days( Ick). Can I leave the serpents and Linckia in the tank? I am not treating it with anything. I have gone through several a couple of snake oils(Chem Marin for one) with dismal results( several deaths). 3 clams, 2 feather dusters and a few corals will be left too.
 
I concur with Scott, and just want to add that you should really do your best to get to the 45 day mark just in case. 30 days would be the bare minimum, and you don't want to take a chance of going through all this to possibly miss a few of those dirty little critters.
 
I plan on going at least the 45 days. I will be moving all of the fish stock to a bare bottom 75( no rock just plastic pipe) for now to keep a eye on them and give treatments as needed.. I am setting up another 125 in the next two weeks to move some of the stock to. I have to drill it first and make the overflows.
 
Well 45 days was up yesterday. I am going to start adding fish back to the tank one small and one medium together over the next several days. :D
 
Yea! The poor fish! I had to split the group into two smaller tanks( 75G bare bottom very little rock and 30G with sand and rock). the 30 has done fine but the 75 had the bigger fish/load and it wes water changes every 4 days. I am glad to see this come to an end. The fish have shown no signs of disease at all through the entire process ( the ones that did not die from the initial outbreak). :D
