Any idea about albendazole?

Zero experience using that drug.

Is this setup ok for qt? Its been 24hrs of water mixing, the sponges (in my sump) will be added dayafter. And the next day ill be getting fish. But before adding, ill mix cp in it.

@nanomania You're not worried about water getting splashed on those electrical outlets?

[HASHTAG]#reefsquad[/HASHTAG] tell me if I'm overreacting here.

I don't think you're overreacting at all @Humblefish. That would personally scare me to death. I would raise those outlets or at least provide some type of splash guard if you can't move them. Just my opinion.

melypr1985 · Jun 14, 2016

Yup. I can just feel the electrical current running up my arm just looking at that. Please move them or cover them some how before you have a fire.

Well they are at least GFCI, only positive I see of them. They are very close and will be prone to any splashing. I agree with dbl and either raise them or create a splash guard.

Other option would be to get the outdoor covers for them.

Major concern is eliminating all possibility that water could splash on those electrical outlets.

There is a 12" gap between tank and those wires. Also iv placed a cardboard in the middle.. will post a pic tomorow..

nanomania · Jun 16, 2016

Here is the cardboard...

Humblefish · Jun 16, 2016

@nanomania That's better, at least the cardboard will deflect some of the water if it splashes on it. However, waterproof plastic sheeting would be even better.

Looks good to me. I don't see a heater or thermometer, but I think you said that's not needed where you are due to the heat.

Can The sponges used in qt/hospital tanks, go back to the main tank sump after using carbon or needs to be washed and dried before placing them back in the sump?

I would just throw them away. Never put anything (aside from a fish) from QT into the display. Just throw it away and get a new sponge.

Or if you are going to reuse it, sterilize with bleach and then let the sponge air dry so any residuals evaporate.
