    Diving straight in - Sameer's Waterbox Infinia 230.6 build thread

    I just put them in a bag.. I feel everytime I feed frozen, the clarity reduces.. Oils? do folks rinse frozen before feeding? heard rinsing can wash away essential nutrients.. I have a 1350gph pump, using it at 50% power, so about 675gph (mostly to control ich)

    Diving straight in - Sameer's Waterbox Infinia 230.6 build thread

    About 150 gms Carbon, changed once every month.. I know some folks suggest to change it sooner, but GPT and ROX instructions say it can last easily for a month if not more.. Its a new UV bought during thanksgiving sale

    Diving straight in - Sameer's Waterbox Infinia 230.6 build thread

    Thought I should keep my build thread updated.. had an ich/flukes outbreak in DT.. tried Copper treatment on Clowns and Blue tang for 1 month, but as soon as I added them back to the tank, Blue tang started showing symptoms again! Figured Ich has to be eradicated from the main tank! Went Hypo...

    My first Fish copper Qt treatment

    Since it’s both the tanks having the same issue, I would think it’s something at the breaker/outlet level instead of equipment level.. that DJ style power strip is a huge suspect for me

    My first Fish copper Qt treatment

    Sorry to hear that Michael.. just thinking if this could be the black power strip that’s the issue here.. swapping it with the white ones will be a quick test.. they trip for a reason, to save you and your home.. and I saw you have mentioned about electrical in the past as well, so just want you...

    My first Fish copper Qt treatment

    Yeah, some people on forums and videos says 1.5 is also Therapeutic.. 2.0 to 2.5 is safe in that regard

    My first Fish copper Qt treatment

    Looking good.. Anything between 2.0 to 2.5 is therapeutic, I personally treated my blue tang at 2.25 Copper Power, that gave me more margin for error either ways. Have you researched if Puffers and other fish in the tank are ok with Copper treatment?

    DBTC: CC 21 Tails Torch

    @Royce023 I would like to have a frag of this.. I do have a 4-5 month old tank, but was able to take care of hammer and torch for a couple of months before I had to move them out during Hyposalinity.. I have a decent size tank with good flow and lights..

    My first Fish copper Qt treatment

    You can order nylon spring clamps or binder clips to secure them.. Dont trust these nets without securing them.. When ClearWater was fish-sitting my fish, I ordered the same netting and put paper clips thinking its secure enough.. next day when I went to check on the fish, blue tang was in the...

    What CUC to get for my tank?

    I heard Sea Cucumbers are toxic when threatened or split.. didn't it nuke your tank? :eek: I will start feeding a little extra, hope they get to eat and dont end up in Hermit Crabs mouth!

    What CUC to get for my tank?

    Haha, Reef Cleaners package for a 200 gallon tank has 38 Nassarius vibex along with bunch of other CUC members (check here: https://www.reefcleaners.org/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=1939&virtuemart_category_id=20).. I thought I was starting with less...

    Hyposalinity

    (Day 86): Just realized I never had an official closure to this thread.. Salinity at 1.023, I didnt do a prazi treatment, though I do have it in my arsenal to do a round if needed.. All fish look good.. crazy looking at the pictures from 1st week in the journal and comparing to current state of...

    My first Fish copper Qt treatment

    I know you are heavily invested going the Copper route but I wish everyone going through Ich starts reading about Hyposalinity.. Its the easiest treatment out there for ich and flukes.. Taking out Corals and Inverts might be easier than taking out all those fish.. Setting up a 20g tank for all...
