Sending pm for Mp40s

PM sent. This would ideal for moving all my livestock from my 180 to a 4" footprint. 

Well, my acans were zapped a while ago by my pesky torach.

Most of them still have a couple heads left but one of my favorites which I got from Ocean in a box when they did the large Australian acan order a while ago.

Well it just has a silver left does anyone suggestions on how to nurse up back to health?

If I'm not able to nurse it back I would be interested in getting a frag from someone who got another frag of this acan.

It was the red and green ultra they had.

Thank you for any help!

Pictures please!

Thanks for looking!

I have been doing some research into the Zeovit system. Does anyone here run the system or know someone who does or used to?

Other then the reactor and the handful additives what else needed? What needs to be taken off my current system?

I know this is vague but Im just starting to look into the system to figure out exactly how much its gonna cost as well as the day to day routine. I was looking at the avast vibe reactor anyone know much on it? 

Thanks in advance!

Yes, 

Im not trying to cure it at this point. Rather just reduce the amount of parasite on the fish. Im amusing my best bet is just to wait it out. I did not know of a lowered salinity would have any benefits. At this point my main focus in getting the fish into healthier state and at that point I can determine the best course of action. 

Just verifying here. 

Dropping down to 1.021 range would have zero benefits? 

Also Ive had ich before on the blue tang just never this bad. The purple is still new to me. 

Well, A true hypo salinity from what I was reading was keeping fish in a tank at 1.009 range. While I know this is way to low to just run with the tank as is. Thats why I was thinking of trying a semi hypo salinity. Im not to worried about my main corals being I have not moved them from my 90 over. However my Nems and some softies are in the tank which are not coming out easily. 

Has anyone kept nems at a lowered salinity? Say in more of a FOWLR salinity setting at 1.023 range? Im assuming inverts like snails and crabs won't be in much trouble. 

Typically from what I gathered a hypo salinity treatment is one of the only CURES for Ich but thats dropping salinity way down. It also puts less stress on the fish being they can stay in a single tank. Hints my reasoning for thinking maybe I can reduce the amount in the tank with a light Hypo treatment, allowing me to reduce any other stressing factors in the tank. I.E. Letting the UV run and reducing nitrates back to zero which is where my tangs were before the move. 

My gathering of how a hypo salinity treatment procedure is done. 

Keep in mind I'm still gathering information on this topic. 

1. salinity is dropped to the range the reefer choses

2. 3-4 weeks after last sight of ich proceed to step 3 

3. over the course of several weeks salinity in raised back to 1.025   

Hello, 

With my recent upgrade to a larger tank my tangs seem to have gotten ich (blue and purple). Thinking it was just from the move I added my Uv and other equipment over. Now it seems to have gotten worse. Heres where the hypo salinity question comes in. What is safe going down to 1.021 range? I know this is not true hypo but being a 180 its impossible to take everyone out. 

Do I need to be worried about softies? (mushrooms, Kenya trees and GSP)

And My nems? Theres to many to take out....

And other inverts?

Im going to start a more aggressive feeding routine with selcon and garlic in mysis and LRS. 

any other suggestions? 

Also my UV is undersized for the tank I think. 

25 watt aqua Uv

last tested five days ago

nitrate 5-10

salinity 1.025

alk 8.1

Thanks in advance.

Yesterday I got a new to me 180 from steelhead. move went well. but now I'm noticing a slow possible seal leak from the bottom of the sump tank. which is  a 40 gallon breeder. Thinking the bulk head was leading to the leak I tightened that. Hopefully that was problem but i would like some insight on this. If anyone has a extra sump they are willing to part with shoot me a PM that way I get an email being I'm still very busy getting stuff figured out. As of now I have the skimmer and filter socks on to help clear up the tank and keep the coral and rock alive. 

Fish are in my frag system for the time being. 

Thanks in advance

Any more available? I've been looking for one for a while.

Link?

Im In Gresham. Im thinking between pellets and maybe frozen once a week they should be fine. I think I have it handled if anything goes south. I will have internet where Im at. I should be able to post if I need any help.

Thanks for the advice.

What Webcam Would you recommend for use with an Apex?

Theres the photos!

Im having my Dad and grandfather Are already coming over to feed our dogs.  I was looking at someway to reduce the chance of error.

Hello, Like the title says Im going out of town. I will be gone the 16-29 then home for two days then gone for another week. Luckily My apex will be able to keep mostly everything in check. The biggest problem Im having is feeding the fish. My grandfather and father will be stoping at the house to feed the dogs and fish. Now Heres the problem I'm trying to solve.  

1. How to prepare 3+ weeks of frozen food

2. Water change

For the water changes Im kinda lost. I was thinking maybe just do a larger one before I go? 

The bigger problem Im having is the food part. Ive pre made a weeks worth before. Will frozen food unthawed in the fridge be fine? Ive been adding garlic and bright well Vitamin c to the food. 

Also I was thinking about getting a PM2 and salinity probe for the tank. Does anyone have would they would part with? I do have a top off line running from the garage to the tank. Maybe a breakout Box and soilined? Then be able to Turn on a saltwater supply for five minutes after they remove a couple gallons? 

Thanks In advance!

Any input?
