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...

@PjFish Caught 2 of them in action late last night.. One of them bothering 1 of the clown's nest!

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

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...

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

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?

Documentation helps future generations! All the best

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

@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..

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...

Looks great.. I have always wondered how to get such clear water.. I tried socks, filter floss, UV, Carbon Rox but nothing brings this level of clarity in the tank.. can you please share your secret :)

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!

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...

(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...

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...

2.3 Star rating o_O

thanks @Darkxerox I will order some bigger shells from amazon.. I thought I started with less but seems like 25 nassarius may be too many for now.. will see how it goes!

Added 2 Tuxedo Urchins, 3 Tiger Tail Cucumbers, 2 Emerald Crabs, 5 hermits, 3 sand sifting star fish, 10 Tiger Trochus snails, 25 Nassarius Snails and although not part of the CUC, but added a skunk cleaner shrimp as well.. 4-5 Trochus snails were attacked right away by the Hermits so I have...

Yeah its definitely not velvet, and I wasnt suggesting that either :) Was saying since its ich, you should have enough time to set the hospital tank the right (cycled) way without skipping a step or 2.. Good to know everybody is eating well! Feed more, with vitachem/selcon/lipo garlic.. Setup UV...

I did some research when cycling my tanks.. Someone did an experiment on R2R comparing a few options and Turbostart cycled the tank the fastest.. Since time is of essence for you, I would suggest you also go with TurboStart Fritz 900 (not Dr Tims).. here is the thread with the details if...
