![]() MRFish55 has offered me the use of his empty 180 gal. (Thanks Dave) So, I`m going to set it up tomorrow in my garage and move all the fish over. Starting to make up SW right now. I wouldn`t move them if I didn`t have adequate space for them, but a 180 is plenty big enough. I`ll put a bunch of PVC pipe for them to hide in and I have an extra skimmer, so I think this is the right thing to do.

![]() When I had to catch all my fish out of the big tank. I drained all the water out rather then have to rearrange the rock work.
It took 6 large rubbermaid tubs and 3 maxijet 1200 powerheads but I had all the water out, the fish in the quarantine tank and the water pumped back in within an hour and a half and not 1 rock had to be moved ![]() |

Yup, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Corals in a tub and then all the water out.

![]() One of my guests just noticed something strange. The ich infected SF Tang was hovering amongst the school of Chromis who were pecking at him just like a Cleaner fish. I hadn't noticed it until now. I googled Chromis and they are indeed a cleaner fish. Huh?

![]() Oh man that sounds like so much work!
Hope it all goes well. I am starting to worry about my guys now too. Its getting really bad. I don't have the choice to Qt though. I could do one fish at a time but no room in my condo for a proper QT. In the very beginning I was going to stock my 200 with just a pair of Crosshatch Triggers and nothing else. They would outgrow it though so I scratched that idea. Then I had kind of decided just a pair of Blue Throats. Scraped that idea though as you can see ![]() All this was because I didn't want to deal with ich again! Feel your pain man. |

![]() Yeah I know but I'll have to move a few rocks anyway because the fish can get right underneath them and I won't be able to get at them. The corals on those rocks will have to be moved. The rest can stay.
