I FW dip and QT. The dip is to remove any unseen parasites. I also use methylene blue in the dip which is antigungal and antibacterial. It also increases oxygen transport for the fish in fresh water. _________ 75g reef with Nova Extreme 8 bulb HO T-5 lighting, refuge, Remora skimmer, DSB, Seio powerheads, Acro's, LPS corals, assorted zoo's & mushrooms, Yellow Tang, Maroon Clown, Blue Cleaner Goby , Cleaner, Fire and Sexy Shrimp, Coco Worm, T.Crocea Clam, Derasa Clam

Understandable, I wouldn't want to have to fight ich.
I'm going to dose with Mela-Fix for 3 days, that's what the bottle recommends for new arrivals. Or is it Prima-Fix, I forget, I know the bottle though.
I'm going to order some pods, too bad I don't have room for a refugium, not with the chiller pump and all the extra tubing.
I just added part of my clean up crew.
100 Blue Leg Hermits
5 Astrea Snails
3 Turbo Snails
2 Sally Lightfoots
I've got 2 cleaner shrimp coming in on Thursday.
I'm sure they will eat some of the copepods too. | |
