I think those lights will be fine on your qt for sure man. I try to keep the lights out for the first day or two upon arrival. Nice job on the qt set up.

The QT are standard fluorescents. The Fluval was more for the frag tank

Just caught up on your thread. Real bummer ! Just don't know what to say.... [emoji20]

I would check out that metroplex as suggested by @jsker . I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Wishing you a fast recovery! [emoji53]

Thx! I did just ordered it! Growing pains. Got a bunch of corals on auction today.

Where u get the corals from?

 

[locito277]

Legendary corals had a huge 4 hr sale yesterday.

 

[locito277]

Frags from WWC and legendary corals Black Friday. The real prize jewels arrive Thursday! Showstopper pieces! Thx @WWC for helping me get everything organized. It was a bit of a hassle buying some pieces on eBay amd others on their cyber Monday deal sale

Big Score for the big tank. Things settling down with the fish?

Oh man, I really wish you good fortune with that coral. Tanks usually need time to be ready for SPS. Crossing my fingers for you.

The blonde Naso passed last night. Just damsels a foxface and a wrasse left.

They are staying in the frag tank. Not moving them for awhile. I stayed away from Acros for now. I was told these were the easier ones.

I would literally have to take the wood work apart to fit in there. Not many left :-(
I have a quick question. Are these guys friends or foes?

We've got to get those fish out and leave the tank fish-less for 75 days. Otherwise, your QT won't make a difference. I have some tips I can share and a trap.

 

[locito277]

QT is taken up. Almost all the fish are dead :-( They could not hold the clowns any longer.

 

[justingraham]

Sorry for ur losses man. Truly am but u have to look at the brite side it happened now not a year from now. Hopefully u learn and move forward like I did when I lost mine.

 

[locito277]

Thx man. There are positives though. Coraline is growing like crazy. Sponges everywhere. The tank is looking good. This weekend were getting all the wiring of the lights organized and the Apex and reeflink set up as well. Hopefully Pedro comes and we can also finish installing the reactors once and for all. Also need to hook up the Genesis.

With all the cash you dropped on this setup a simple fish trap would be a drop in the bucket. Or maybe the guy that put everything together for you has one you can borrow?

Problem is the fish left aren't the fish that would go into the traps typically. Chromises are 7 of the remaining 13 fish along with the fox face, firefish, and fairy wrasse.

Another buddy has an idea that may work.
