so what all do you have left to get rid of?

yea lol how?

oh alright thanks

what determines the wamas rank you are? like right now im in urchin

ok lol like an episode of tanked i guess ha. but i have amquel+ and have been using it slow and in doses to not hurt my fish.

WOW great read. i want the fish out my tank now!!! i wish i had someone i could pay to house my fish for like 3 weeks now.

Want to share a picture of my custom made sump by NAGA so everyone could see the quality craftmanship that he puts into his work! Thanks jeff great work i plan to install it this weekend. 48"x20"x13" sorry the pics are not so great wont let me upload any good ones.

yes i have been checking my prams everyday and some twice. my ammonia is good now only got up to .25 but back at zero or close now i used amqul in half doses for the fish. my nitrate was at 2.5/5.0 when i got home today and i did a 10% WC, i will check again before i go to bed. how long do you think before my levels will stablize. I thought that the cycle process was only because the LR/LS. so this was my mistake. the fish are doing great and are very active and eating.

Thanks for your input you always comment and help answer questions i post! where can i buy prime? and currently i have the salinty at 1.018 this is ok?

well might of been a rookie mistake, but i only let my tank run for two days before putting the fish in! i mean there is no LR or Sand so i figured it would of been no problem just being saltwater. my DT has ich didnt want to risk a sponge out of there! and i do have an air stone with 2 small powerheads and a HOB filter way over sized. I just bought a couple of fish from another member i got a great deal and didnt want to pass it up. so i plan to keep the fish in my QT for longer than 3 weeks. actually untill june 12th. i really want to buy your bigger tangs just dont want to put them into that small of a tank untill i can put them in my DT. so i will buy if your still have them closer to the day my DT is ready to go.

i know there is another QT thread going on right now but i have a couple of questions that i didnt see in there. 1. Do you need to run a skimmer on the QT tank? 2. Other than water changes how do i keep the Ammonia down on a daily basis, i couldnt possibly do a WC everyday! 3. Im am not medicating if i do not need to so i need a salinty level to keep it at where the PH will also be stable. My QT is already up and running its a 40g breeder

Wow yea I cannot afford the xhatch. Na can't do it lol so bluejaw and Niger are really the only other two? Any one know of or kept any other kind without problems? But out of those two both kinda seem similar in looks on vivids website.

No need to go racist Ryan lol but Ok well I don't really keep up with my triggers so I guess I just need to see which I like the best. Is size an issue with others such as tangs or clowns or anything? I know they will eat other small fish that will it in there mouth.

ok even with any type of anemone?

I wanted to ask for everyones input on if keeping a trigger fish in a reef tank is something that can be done with out it causing too many problems. Also if its not which trigger is best suited for a reef tank?

does a skimmer need to be used on a QT tank?

Yea he's right you don't need to touch the breaker to put one in just make sure you turn it off when you do it. You can just have a GFCI breaker put in on that circuit and that whole circuit would be protected and you wouldn't haft to touch the plugs. It will be a little more expensive tho.

yea i still have the fish trap is anybody wants it. 20$ on pick up

yea im an eletrician. what you did will be fine and anything after the GFCI is protected but fishie is also right it wont reset after power loss on its own like a normal GFI outlet would.

i have an aqua medic fish trap ill sell you worked great for me to catch my tangs and clowns. its brand new in the box, i bought too many. its $40 from fosters and smith ill sell it for $20 if your interested.

If your light was not on then your light should not be broken. if it is a DE just clean the two ends up. The ballest controlls the power what you got wet was just the sockets. you may want to change that bulb out too.

Ornate Wrasse are beautiful and reef safe. Vivid has them for only $40. http://www.vividaquariums.com/10Expand.asp?ProductCode=01-4129-S&Category=Fish:Wrasse&SortBy=Price

its crazy im about to do the same thing and had all these same questions so thanks! im gonna buy a used 55g tho. Also you can QT your fish for the month around 8-10 weeks of running you DT fallow im sure. Why wait another month after.

when does this show start?

FREE fish im giving ALL my fish away to someone that can treat them. some are in better shape than others. hypno them and you will have a nice fish that was free. im going to post this in the classified forum.
