It’s chose chip frig right ? Not a real frig ? IE condenser and Freon.

Therapeutic starts at 1.75. They say once you pass 1.00 do not add any more fish.

Throw me in the mix Adian

I’ll trade boring for heartbreak any day. All I have is reef drama. Consider yourself extremely blessed.

Before you start. Let me say. QT isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s very unforgiving. You need to be very aware and spot on in your parameters. It’s not a regular aquarium. She’s a very mean lady.

I’m gonna go against what some of you guys said. I’m not a fan of fast ramping copper. I’ve done it in the past. I think it shocks the fish. They become extremely lethargic. Even when I slow ramp. 0.25-0.5 over 6-8 hours. Some fish are still tweeky. It something takes 3-5 days for the fish to...

Link is no bueno

In qt. Everything is supposed to be hard man made surfaces. It makes for no med absorption. Rocks , sand and whatnot will absorb meds and may releach at a later time.

The best way to introduce and control bio is those freshwater sponge filters. I use that ( large size ) or long strips of those pre filter mesh. It’s close to the same material. It takes a few weeks for them to seed. Then when I think they have too much gunk or whatever. I rinse them with...

Fastest Practical Setup and Techniques 1. Start with a dedicated culture system
Use a separate small tank, sump section, or shallow tray/container (e.g., 4–10 inches deep water) to avoid contaminating your main reef. Many people use plastic trays, small buckets, or 5–10 gallon setups with...

I would like a frag of this one. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Then macro shots are your friend

Totally agree. Lots of other stuff plays into it too. Meds, salt , energy, knowledge , death etc. QTing is definitely brutal and not for the faint of heart. It’s definitely depressing.

Boun. You blew it. You’re supposed to send the pictures to Aiden secretly so he can post them. Then people can vote without knowing who’s who. Now go retake some awesome photos.

Hijack. No worries if it helps others. All good

I don’t mean to discourage you from the pond idea. But that’s a lot of surface area, meaning it’s gonna use a lot of electricity to heat. Depending on how many fish you have and size. Plus insulation on that pond is horrible. Having said that. The swim space is awesome. The best thing is to try...

Your going to try to qt all your fish in one shot ? Some fish need different kinds of qt methods Example is some tangs , some angels , wrasse don’t do well in copper. CP is the best imo but it’s really hard to get.

Yes. Cup off. But sometimes on. Depends on what I’m dosing cuz the skimmer can pull it off. I also run lots of air pumps with wood or sand stone. Or you can run those freshwater sponge filters. You can never have enough oxygen. Meds kill oxygen like a lot.

AH there he is. He never disappoints. The Master of Fish. Mr. Fish Ethics and Morals. But He ain’t wrong tho.

So it’s only half angry ? Or sometimes.
