Good night y'all!
See you in the morning!

Gonna say fish.
I had and loved both of those fish, esp my filefish. Loved that guy.

While I agree, I think I'm going with CUC. I really need a Filefish (or they have CBB, pretty sure Ocean's is from there). I might do a CBB or Filefish BUT I'm thinking Peppermint Shrimp from Reef Cleaners so that'll work too.

Agreed- I love those Jurassic World fish and really want one.

Before I go to bed I just want to say that the courage y'all display is amazing and awe inspiring to me.
Life can be challenging and hard and talking about it can be just as hard or harder.
I'm honored to be a part of your lives and thank you for sharing everything with all of us.
Keep the faith, rock on and good vibes....

I feel exactly the same. Well written as usual Joel!

@Remi
What kind of music do you listen to?

Good morning all, mainly I listen the radio in the car so American and English singers. I left France 18 years ago so when I go there I don't know 80% of actual singers or actors lol (only recognize old ones).

I saw 2 weeks ago a filefish, the size of a small plate 6 inches diameters. It was a tassle, normally I see only the small one.

Now I'm at a crossroads... Do I convince my wife I need $75 in CUC from Reef Cleaners or do I convince my wife I need $80 in fish from Aquarium Arts? Either a pile or shrimp, hermits, and snails or an Aiptasia Eating Filefish and a Scopas ...

Get both...

And good morning everyone

 

[Calmwaters]

Just checked the QT tank and my sixline is dead. I don't understand no one else has shown any symptoms...

 

[Calmwaters]

Copper is testing at 1.0 with an API liquid test should I add more coppersafe?

Hi Amanda, the sixline had symptom? And the tang in the hospital tank?

They all were in the hospital tank and no one but the tang had symptoms. I added one more dose of the coppersafe and that brought it up to 2.0 since I read that if it's not high enough the copper won't kill the ick.

 

[Remi]

Yes copper should be keep steadily during the quarantine process. I think wrasse may be more sensitive to copper.

When I did the water change last night I think I was off on my count of how much water I added back and underdosed the copper.

 

[Remi]

I took the other path so I never did it. I think the proper level is between 2.25 and 2.5 but I don't how fast you need to reach this level, is it instantly or not because of the wrasse.

Current Quarantine Protocol

2023 Quarantine Procedures Jay Hemdal David Scarborough Protozoans (Cryptocaryon/ich, Amyloodinium/velvet) and Metazoan trematodes/flukes are by far the most common parasites found on newly acquired fish. A carefully managed quarantine process can effectively eliminate these parasites before...

• Add Coppersafe to the QT to achieve a concentration of 2.25 to 2.50 ppm over the course of 24 hours. This can be done in two doses 12 hours apart or multiple smaller doses if you prefer. Coppersafe will not be effective until a concentration over 2.0 ppm is present. A target of 2.25 ppm will allow for fluctuations without the risk of falling below the 2.0 ppm threshold. Hanna Copper checker is the most accurate test to use.

This is the part for the dosage and timeline.

Yes that's what I read that made me think to add another dose.

You did the math to reach your wished level? And compared to the API test result. I don't know if API copper is reliable or not and overdose the QT (I don't know the consequence).

The API is accurate for copper according to Jay the illness specialist on R2R.
