Corals are looking very happy
I moved the yumas into some shade and they are coming back to life, but I can't show you right now 'cause P-bucket isn't uploading

I'll be getting some growth pics up soon too when I get some more patience :wink:

Once you buy a new place I know who'll be getting some bigger fish :biggrin:

I think you have over worked photo bucket....:twised: I have no problems with it.:mrgreen:

:rofl:

I couldn't be happier right now :mrgreen: well, maybe, but as far as fish go ...

I put the new kole into the QT about 5 mins ago and it's already picking at the LR :multi:

Still no P-bucket action ...............

Woa no Q for the Kole? Im debating doing the same with mine as my 10g Q tank is housing a goby with the buddy pistol along with a grenn chromis and a ton of rock and sand. My plan is to move all that in the 75g, clean out the 10g and have it setup as a Q tank.

You're brave and will be watching this for updates!

WHOOPS
I meant QT :lol:

No not brave, or silly, just too excited to type correctly :razz:

Chris, thanks for pointing that out :lol:

Definately put your dude into your QT, even if it means you have to clear it out tonight, or postpone the purchase a day or so, or whatever

You know how prone tangs are to MI, nevermind everything else that could happen

I wanna make sure this little guy is eating well and hopefully bug-free
The plan is for a day or so of feeding, then I'm going to start dropping the Sg and go through the whole hypo bit

Yup I am going to clean out the 10g tonight and drop the salinity to 1.16 or so.

How did you setup your qt? Are you running any chemicals or just lower the salinity?

My QT is currently 1.025 @ 79f with 5-10lbs of LR
I have an Aquaclear 50, and an 8watt UV run by a Quiet One 1200 on it's lowest setting

I'm not running any chems right now and probably won't
I did a week of Paraguard and it killed all my brittle stars, some asternias, and the few polyps haven't opened since

I add Paraguard when I'm acclimating and treat it as a dip, right before I net the dudes to the QT

Once I start to drop the Sg I'll put the LR in a bucket for the fallow period

Keep your Sg up until after you acclimate, then drop it over 48-72 hours if you plan on going hypo
Otherwise, keep it between 1.024 and 1.026

I like the hypo salinity method to be honest as it kills most parasites and it's not harmful to the fish.
I was under the impression that drip acclimation when introducing new fish into the qt tank is not necessary. They just match temps and drop the fish in lower salinity water which shock the parasites off.
