i have a 180g FOWLR and thinks my mp60 is great for it. mp40 max is ~3200gph. I usually leave my mp60 turned up about 70%, which is 5000gph+.

Well I dont know as much about wrasses, anthias, etc, but I have personally formalin dip 10+ angels and tangs(PBT/Achilles/BlueHippo) for 50-60mins each without issue. The formalin dips I perform is in addition to 3-4 weeks of .5ppm cupramine. Its just an extra precautionary step. I'm just...

I forgot to mention, I give all new fish 2-3 prazi treatments too. yeah after my cupramine treatment, i transfer the fish into a 4gal bucket w/4ml 37% formalin(+2 airstones) for an hour. then i transfer the fish into my DT. Sometimes into an acclimation box, sometimes directly in...

just keep the water quality up and it'll go away with time.

nice DIY acclimation box.

This is what i do with warm water and let it dry for a couple of days. I've been using mesh socks more now and like it better than the felt.

sweet video. for your achilles, have you tried blood worms or mysis soaked in Selecon? my AT goes nuts over both. QT-ing that many fish in one tank is tough. once you add copper, some fish might not feed and it will throw everything off.

Every new fish goes thru .4-.5ppm cupramine for 3-4 weeks. + 1-2 one hr formalin dip. even fish from DD(true personifer+achilles) goes thru the same QT regimen. i have an achilles, pbt, and blue tang without ich. arguably the top 3 ich magnets. also a few angels.
