Moorish Idol - Take 2

So it's been over 3 hours without the skimmer running and circulating pumps at around 60%.
I can't say as I see any ill effects but I'm not going to carry it on through the night. Maybe someone else wants to try that...haha
Though far from conclusive I would say that I would be comfortable having run my system for a day or two without a skimmer. My fuge lights went on in the last 45 minutes so this adds another angle of discrepancy to the test.

Back to MI eating habits, does yours even go near that Ick shield? I tried feeding that to my display and not even my clown trigger would go near it!!!

Ya, went right at it. I'm surprised, people told me fish often didn't like it.

Thursday update (it's Thursday, right?). MI and his Anthias buddies are all doing well, eating like pigs.
MI still has the same single whit spot, inclined to think not ich. Not sure, he won't stay still long enough to get a good look.

That's it. Simple update

Hmm
Guess we'll keep this info from the newbs

Don't need any overdoses happening here

Kinda late, there's a long thread about it.

I'm not sure how effective it is, given what the topical dose is, but I figure it can't hurt. I didn't want to treat the whole tank yet, but will if I see any signs that warrant it. So far it's one white dot on the MI that hasn't changed in days. Could easily be something else.
