If its a parasite or pathogen of some kind....it'll life cycle will time out with no hosts (fish)present should be safe to put fish in about 4 weeks , 6 to be extra safe.......just start qt fish now for that time to come.....I'd keep heat on the upper end (80) in your display tank to speed up metabolism of parasite and its life cycle......hth. Your inverts can stay

Also speaking from experience its a lot harder to keep many qt tanks " up to par" daily versus Just havin one larger one ....also wayer parameter are more stable....maybe look for a 29 gal.......

Are those for fish or coral guys?

Great pics...thanks for sharing John!

Ya this my one of mu favs.....my spelling teacher(r-3) give me a hard time cause I gotta be home thursday evenin.....lol

How long have u had it?

Nyles,

Lol.....were talkin a household unit with like 1300-1500psi...... I see where ur comin from but eventually you get fed up wit the hair algae........latr

Tangs can get stressed from shipping easily resulting usually in an outbreak of ick ....have u had any other fish die recently besides these tangs? do u quarantine?what where their symptoms?

I suspect that the fish had something already that manifested from shipping stress OR u could of had some parasite lingering in your water from some previous fish not being quarantined that may or may not be still alive(meaning its a carrier)and infecting any new incoming fish that maybe stressed....... Which results in a fish dying a week or two later. I like to my tangs or any fish eating and in tank or from some other hobbiest tank.....where u can see and judge their health easier......

lately every fish I have bought in bag have bit the dust...

I lost a mandarin the third day( didn't notice some fungus or bacterial infection on gill plate cause of plastic bag doesn't allow good inspection). And I lost six bangaii this last week ...one by one daily.....all these fish where in quarantine...thank god!!!!!! Makes u wonder if these are captive raised liked told or cyanide caught.......maybe its shipping stress...I dunno

I started out buying fish in the bag like others cause they where a bargain....u took the chance of the loss for the bargain....that's cool...but seems like lately they seem to be regular price or close too.....not worth it IMO. Nothng against nobody or any shops, but I can't afford it.......

So......I would rather pay 20-30% more to get a healthy and properly collected fish that will survive....than go through six fish at a bargain basement deal...........I may still purchase SOME in the bag "steals" and take my chances , NOT the regular price in the bag special , but its russian roulette

out of the last 15 fish I have bought in bag , I only have three to show for it...................u do the math...it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this isn't workin.....

The definition of insanity is doing the samething over and over and expecting a differnt outcome......

Done ventin

Latr

Pressure washer!!!!! I've been on city water(no ro/di) and yes I have had algae problems but I account that to bad Tank husbandry and water flow....now that I'm more active with my tanks ( changing the filter sock moreoften) its all going away..........what I saying is don't be afraid to use tap water....BLAST IT!!! have you checked the tds of your city water....some citys water are amazingly low, some not.......and I don't believe you can kill off the bacteria on the rock that easily.....when the world ends they are what's gonna be left........if your worried about the

"Stuff" in city water , pressure wash then do a quick cooking process wit ro/di.......whaterever is there should leach out

HTH

I'll take all ur 10 gal....

Try some mysis.....could soak it in some selcon (kinda spendy$20) or some vitamin mix like Zoe from kent and a little water(minimal amount....a couple ounces)......then use a turkey baster and gently squirt it close to anemone(like 2 inches away) any further and it just floats up before reaching anemone if squirting gently ....any harder and anemone will shrink.....hth

I'd tell ur buddy to part it out.....to get the most out of it

Sending u a pm

Thanks

Oh I see how it is......blame it on the school district.....couldn't come up with a better excuse than that.....lol.....how's it going? Not good I see.... When we gettin together again so I cam bring some hot wings.... Good hearin from you....latr
