Thanks guys. I was being a little lazy with the light and they're not in total darkness. That part of the basement has a small (window well type) window right next to the tank so there's definitely some indirect light. And yes George they seemed at risk but I'm not sure they were certain to...

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions! Its breathing doesn't seem to be distressed at all I read that about the garlic - I've been feeding about a clove every other day - just push it right through the wife's garlic press. She had a snide comment or two :) I've also been feeding my 2...

No one appears to be harassing it and plenty of hiding spots - this is a shot of the whole QT

I have a small (about 2.5”) Blue Hippo Tang in Hyposalinity QT – It’s been in QT for a while (I was told 4 weeks before I got it) and I’ve had it for almost 2 weeks. I was told in had Ich, hence the hypo. When I got it I was told that it had been at 1.010 but the water I got it in was pretty...

color came back - I tried to get a pic but my phone isn't focusing right (AGAIN) anyway, it seems to be healthy and may have even grown out a bit. I read somewhere (wish I had saved a link) that some folks have experienced zoas growing (splitting) after a prolonged period of what appeared to be...

well, looks like it's back - same spot. It's not changing color yet but there is an area of the sand that appears to be forming a patch. I'll have to net it out tonight but I'm in a holding pattern with my NSW - I have a QT running and I had to change my salinity in my mixing drum - I'm...

My wife thinks it's funny that I refer to the board as "fishbook" and now I'm told some kid's cartoon stole my idea. I guess it wasn't THAT original...

If I can get the skimmer running I'll use it... can't hurt. I think the QT has lots of hiding spots Probably went overboard with that. Since the divider has failed me I think I'll remove it. here's a quick video link http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee503/dzipin/d1ba3d55.mp4 Everyone...

It seems pretty crappy but it was just sitting in the garage, and well that means the price was right - I figured it would be better than nothing but I do intend to to regular WCs so hopefully that will be sufficient so if it turns out to just "suck" I'll scrap the idea

Thanks - I just hope I have enough knowledge to provide a better environment. Also, to add to above - I have a coralife 125 super skimmer that I was going to try and set up as a HOB - it was included with the package when I bought my tank. That guy used it "in sump" in a wet/dry. So far I...

Thanks Nikki. I think your math is spot on - I already brought it up to 1.014 and 1.020 is my goal for the end of week 2. I think I will wait until then before I attempt to do the whole remove all - sterilize, replace. I think the move was stressful enough. I'm also worried b/c I don't think...

I have a QT set up for some new fish I picked up. Fish came from QT in hypo-salinity (1.012). Problems seem cleared up and he claims they have been for 3-4 weeks. (I'm still keeping them in QT for a while and then introducing them slowly to avoid upsetting my bioload.) My plan is to do water...

Well I’m adding some tenants at the old Inn. I have a few new fish. Originally the list included a coral beauty but that guy sadly didn’t make it. Also lost a Royal Gramma and one of two yellow tail damsels. Enough bad news, the good news is what’s in the QT for a short stay (to make this happen...

So far, so good. It seemed to be isolated to one general area. I manually removed (netted) what I could, went back with a siphon and did about 15% WC and now I'm just watching to see if it starts again or I missed anything. I let it go as while not knowing what it was - won't make that mistake...

Blue legs, reds and my snails. Lasted about 12-18 hours and now like you said, business as usual.

They opened and look healthy but not bright. I think that's most likely my lighting.

Some pics of the new additions (did i mention i need a better camera than my phone on the Xmas list) Green Metallic Palys green apple zoas whammin watermelon zoas.

Newest additions. I picked up a 33 long from a local reefer which I will use as my new QT setup - 1 step closer to adopting a group of fish (hoping they are still available since the week and a certain storm have passed in the interim. anyway, when I picked up the QT tank, I was offered a couple...

Well, it's been a few days now. I'll be watching it closely and now that I know what it is I won't let it go as long. At this point I'm still too scared to dose Kalk so I'm definitely not ready to start with redslime remover or chemiclean...
