It appears like I got a nice variety of everything! Tons of nice little snails and crabs. Also got 4 nice size turbo snails. Drip acclimating them now.What critters did you get?
Hi @WIReefer great progress on your built. I have question about your QT process as far as adding copper. What type of copper did you use? How long did you wait before adding the copper treatment? How much dose did you add per day? Did you followed the instruction on the back of the bottle? and How long it take you to reach the therapeutic level of 2.0 - 2.25? The reason why I asked because I want to hear other Reefer ideas how they QT there fish to give an idea when I start mine by closer to mid June of this year. Thank You in advance! I appreciate your help and advice.Fishies are all happy and eating like pigs! Copper is staying above 2.00ppm easily. Hopefully things continue to stay this well. 25 more days of copper.
Hi Jay, I am currently using copper power. I had the fish in the tank roughly 10 days before I added copper but that is because I recently moved into a new home and I knew the fish were okay have owned for a while. If I were to purchase a new fish from the store/online I would observe and make sure they are eating for about 3-4 days then start copper. I did follow the instructions on the back. My system water volume is roughly 56 gallons I started with a dose of 1.25fl I was aiming for 1.00ppm copper. Result in the first dose was 1.02ppm so fairly close. After initial dose I waited 24 hours to ramp up to therapeutic levels I dosed 0.25fl each day until desired amount (2.25-2.50). I hope this helps if you have any other questions don’t hesitate to reach out!Hi @WIReefer great progress on your built. I have question about your QT process as far as adding copper.
