Well, it's been 24 hours since the big move and everything is looking fine. Never lost a coral or a fish. I put a bunch of PVC pipe in the treatment tank along with some fake, plastic corals and plants. So the fish feel relatively safe. I've got an extra skimmer I can run on this tank. Is it advisable to run a skimmer when treating with Cupramine? The bottle just says to turn off UV sterilizer and remove all chemical filtration.

I think you can run the skimmer. I have in the past when treating with copper but I have only ever treated one fish with copper, so I don't have much experience.

Glad to hear its going well!

Happy Tuskfish!
Sydney is certainly feeling better. He was actually playing tonight, swimming on his side at the surface all around the tank. At first I thought he was screwed up but then I realized he was playing. After about 5 laps of the tank he stuck his head out of the water and spit water into the air. He did this one more time and then spit water again. It was hilarious! I ran for the camera but he wouldn't do it anymore. I'll keep the camera by the tank in hopes he'll do it again.

Every morning I hate to look in the tank, not knowing what I'm going to find. The move went very well though and the fish have responded to the Cupramine quickly, which is surprising to me becasue I always under dose a little with this stuff. Maybe it's just the Ich cycle though; I'm not sure. The corals in the DT all came through with flying colours too.
