Unfortunately I lost my Blue throat trigger and Pink tail fairy wrasse and Long nose hawk while doing hypo. All the other fish appear to be ick free and I have already started to raise my salinity. Thanks for asking!Everyone Healthy?

Super Reef Octopus SRO-3000INT 8” SkimmerWhat model skimmer was that again?
Thank you! I am using a Reef Octopus 6" Waste Collector with Auto Shut Off to collect the skimmate. I manually fill my 10 gallon RODI top off container with a hose than runs from my 40 gallon RODI container. It takes only a minute to top it off twice a week. The only mechanical float is the one in my 40 gallon RODI container.I just read through your build thread, simply fantastic! The updates and the progression were great to see.
Your tank, equipment, micro fish room and attention to detail is amazing. Well done!
A few questions: where do you keep the skimmer overflow? Do you have a float switch on it to turn off the skimmer when full?
How do you fill your RODI top up resivour? I know you mentioned solinoid but is that the only mechanism? Do you also use a float connected to the apex? What about a mechanical float?
Again, amazing build! Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to here that, Poly Labs has a in tank ich treatment that I am going to try out. I will let you know how it works when I get an out break.Unfortunately I lost my Blue throat trigger and Pink tail fairy wrasse and Long nose hawk while doing hypo.

Thank you! I tried Ruby Reef Kick Ich, but it did not work!Sorry to here that, Poly Labs has a in tank ich treatment that I am going to try out. I will let you know how it work when I get an out break.
Thank you!Wow! Amazing job!
Thanks! You had mentioned this previously but I never tried it. So far no signs of ick since slowly raising my salinity.Just another preventive measure that I do is feed Metroplex and Seacheme focus to bind the meds to my food when I get new additions for about a week. I also feed with the meds and frozen in the below picture and have been pretty fortunate even when I have ich outbreaks
Thanks! The light fixture needs to be removed from the canopy to change the T-5's but it is not difficult.Amazing engineering work. It looks great. How can I replace if necessary T5 lamps? I can not see how to do it?
Correction! There was two tanks and now there is three. I have had as many as four at one time. Too much work!There was one tank, and now there is two
Ah you mad manCorrection! There was two tanks and now there is three. I have had as many as four at one time. Too much work!
Thanks Rev!Best of luck man!
That's what I have always thought until I had an ick breakout after adding CUC to my DT. Honestly, I don't really know the truth but decided to QT everything and not take anymore chances.I was always told that CUC doesn't carry disease so doesn't need quarantine, is this, true?
