Thx for this! All great info. Didn’t occur to me that I needed to turn the light off in the QT tank. Ran downstairs and shut the light off because the nem has been in the light all day in the regular tank. It’s a cheap tank I picked up from pet smart but I think I need to go back and get a better quality light. The light that came with it is very weak.I used the same exact one. On 2 colorado sunburst nems.
Heres what i did.
I kept them in a basket. Black square ones sold at home depot for ponds.
Had a tote just big enough to fit it and a cheap powerhead from walmart.
Filled the tote with enough water to keep nems completely covered and basket floated, about 3gal. Powerhead NOT POINTED directly at nems.
1 500MG pill oee day, right before lights out.
I used a black box led with bothe channels at about 60%.
12hrs on 12 off.
Change the water at least 1 time a day, before dosing.
If there is slime or poop, change twice a day.
Continue dosing at least 10 days. I did 15.
No feeding. And use fresh saltwater each water change you dont want to use water that has had time to build bacteria in it.
