Hey all,

She has a nice big UV on there already, and i dont think it had anything to do with the pellets, i believe the lack of carbon took an already heavy stocked system over the edge and when fish started to lose thier slime coat, they started to stress everyone into ich.....but then again what do i know lol

Last night we decided against FW dipping and instead just started to lower the salinity to 1.18 to help the fish that are still in there fight the the ich, if nothing else i figure it will help to slow the progression....there are no corals left int he system that we care about so lower it may go....you wouldnt believe how much FW you need to add to a 500G system to lower is a few points....lol my arms still hurt haha

Anyways all of Lauries Corals and her nem that i took are doing great in the 230 at the store....so thats a postive note.....not too many at the moment...

Steve
