So far I’ve had no losses and no ammonia spike and I’ve been testing daily to be sure. The only thing besides the fish and coral that I transferred was my rock which had been cycled...

    Questions about Tank Transfer Method QT?

    So some brief backstory here, I set up my first saltwater tank about 6 weeks ago, got it cycled and added my first fish last week (firefish goby). I decided to forgo QT for the first fish fully aware of the potential consequences of this, figuring I'd get lucky with my first fish and I'd get my...

    Transferring Zoas to a new tank.

    I’m in the process of transferring my live stock to a new tank which is fully cycled. At what point can I transfer my Zoas over? I have a rock where I have a Zoa colony and a medium sized GSP in there. I was trying to transfer them last, but I’m having to remove all my rock cause my fish are...

    Upgrading to the Red Sea Max E260 - Same day tank transfer

    Hey Reefers! 2020 started with me taking a new job where I thought taking a paycut would pay off in the end, lockdown started a few weeks later. 2020 ended like it did for many of you, with a lot of downs and some ups. 2021 started with me getting laid off - rough patch was turning darker. I...

    Hello fellow reefers! My last marine tank was many eons ago, where regular water changes was the norm. Fast forward to 2020, I had initially ordered a REEFER 250, the order was unfulfilled due to COVID 19 and refunded. On hindsight, not a bad thing...I went with the bigger REEFER 500...

    QT - Why it sometimes fails?

    I would like to hear from people who 'Quarantine' their fish - not from those who do not use this method. This is not designed to determine what percent of people use QT methods - but rather those who do - what percentage have had a failure.... Lets discuss the reasons why it is 'great' -...

    40mg CP treatment & TTM day 10

    The Blue Regal stopped eating and some of the other fish slowed down too. The Regal's activity level also decreased. After the 3rd transfer, I didn't redose anymore CP. I noticed after about 10 hours he started to become more active. Regal's are very weird fishes anyway, so you really need to...

    My new QT treatment logic.

    So now I'm changing my game plan on most new arrivals. I've been dosing CP (40mg) during TTM coupled with Prazipro. I feel it's about the safest route to go considering that nearly all fish I've seen lately have a Parasite, Flukes, Bacterial infection, Viral infection, etc, etc. We know that...
