The one night I didn't check in with my tank at night...

I would but outta space... i have a second TTM setup for the batch i caught yesterday. Totally sporadic on what is causing the hippo to get aggro. Worst case, i might just box it. ...just need to last until Fri. One more transfer to go

Unexpectedly, fish are being really challenging with TTM. On a few transfers they're totally fine. And then on some like today, they get stressed out and start fighting . Just lost a perfectly healthy zombie clown... fine going in and then an hour later, hippo was snapping chunks out of its...

Finally tore apart my tank,and snagged the 3 springers and the mandarin. Can officially go fallow... Ugh.

Everyone in QT are coming along. Visible signs of ich are gone and no losses...albeit close call with the gem. I wish i started the TTM QT earlier. I just won't do FW dips in between transfers. I did do the peroxide bath in palce of the FW dip...but plan on only doing it once every 2...

My black marked lighting and GSM finally spawned another clutch again after a long break. BUT just lost the clutch over night. Forgot to turn the pump back on after turning it off...so i think temp dropped too long despite the heat wave...

Tangs will destroy that in a heartbeat... Been trying to regrow some... absolute fail since Tangs will destroy and bit that even tries to grow.

Probably is... just need to last through the week and they go back out to the garage... 100F + weather in a garage is definitely not the place to be. On a more positive note, crisis averted. I put the gem into a box and an airstone underneath to make it easier to breathe... came back...

@Coral2Coral scratch that... just saw my gem on its side breathing hard... then the hippo came by and took a bite. Literally swimming fine to being over stressed... Hippo is likely the culprit for the damage before. Kills me that everyone was mostly fine in the previous tank but swapping...

yeah -- my former Achilles got really cranky in its last days... plus I think there might have been bacterial or fungal badness floating around in the tank. Improved with some melafix... downside, malefix is no bueno for sensitive SPS...

Had to move the crew in while switching ttm tanks. Sure, it's a bit cramped. But it's this or a broil in the garage oven. At least until the next TTM swap and cooler temps.

AquaJapan85 === Lost my purple striped dottyback this morning. Could be it doesn't do well under FW dip and hypo. Though, I wonder if something else is going on... it was extremely plump and I've always thought it looked gravid. Maybe even more so lately. And the fact i can easily net it...

Damn. Was just at the Pruneyard!

AquaJapan85 It's 2:40A...and finally finished pulling all my fish except 3 springers in hiding to QT. Will attempt snagging those damsels in the morning with a fish trap. Wound up introducing some stubborn strain of ich into the tank and after doing nearly a month's worth of in tank...

Holy crap! I'm glad everyone is OK. I almost had a near electrical fire once... Tangs threw water onto my power strip. A near shocking experience for me. literally.

more than enough space... with the right ring holders, you can stack the RO housings. Instead of 2 di stages, use the combo resins... otherwise, everything is the same

Go big or go home... My piece meal system: Sediment -> 2x Carbon, chloramine removal capable -> 3x 75GPD RO running at 80 PSI for 1:0.75 (gotta squeeze every last drop of good water) -> 2 stage DI (Cation /anion) Don't need anything fancy. Just a frame to hold filter blocks and various...

Don't forget to dip and QT first... :D

Dammit. In my rush to set up my autofeeders before heading to the airport, i dropped a few into a bucket of spent SW. Whoops. Good thing fish are nice and fat, and my tanks are dirty. Will have to feed extra when i get back Thurs night. I did ask a favor from my wife to feed them while...

...and, a wet t shirt contest to boot!
