Cheers all.
 
Thank you for tuning in. That was really fun and informative. I certainly learned alot todaym
I'll update this when we publish the recordings.
 
When she showed a breeding set up, she mentioned it had UV sterilizers in it, but didn’t go into detail (because you weren’t there to ask about it :) )

It was a good talk, she mentioned the issue of acclimating fish that have been a long time in a bag (like imported from a wholesaler, not bought from LFS an hour ago) and recommended the following procedure:
- float unopened bag 15 mins
-open the bag, immediately net and transfer the fish without any drip acclimation

The reason is the same as Michael from Baybridge mentioned which is the ammonia build up in the bag is high, but not in a more
dangerous form because of the low pH in the bag from the fish respiration. But as soon as you open the bag it releases CO2 and raises the pH, which makes more of the ammonia dangerous (I guess converts more from ammonium to ammonia form).

Also a random thing I learned - if you have a new wild blue tang, it comforts them to have a fake blue ridge coral in the tank as that is what they wedge themselves into to sleep in the wild.
