Here is a good acclimatization policy

i acclimate by putting the specimen in a fair sized tupperware container with about half water from the store.
then syphon from the main tank through some airline tubing and have a slow drip into the tupperware. i use a little adjustable plastic valve that lets you regulate flow, but you can also just tie a knot in the tubing to create the drip once it fills i drain about half the water in the sink and repeat the procedure. once its full again hell be ready for his new home. not a bad idea to cover the tupperware aswell incase he decides to jump Last edited by BigHammer; 10-30-2009 at 07:20 PM.

Ich?
so we left our lights off all night.. the cardinal an angel are both eating. except we noticed some white flecks all over the angels tail and fins..
i heard that its either lymphocytosis.. from poor water quality.. so i checked our parameters.. and everything is good. so i think...im lead to believe that this is ich, or brokynella.. (not sure which one angels usually get) hes eating and looks healthy ..swimming around and stuff.. Not sure what to do now. thanks in advance for your input

if it is eating i would not even consider QT. just keep doing what you are doing. if your not already using garlic, now would be a good time to start soaking your food.
