Awesome!!

Cool kio. I have a question on qt that I made a thread about but you may know the answer. How are you seeding the qt tank without the ick being carried over? Is the qt in hypo as well?

Took a couple of rubble rock from sump. QT is not in hypo, but if needed, can be in no time due to nothing being in it.

Congrats on your new purchases!

Tnx.. Betta is awesome looking...

Need advice... My DT is in hypo and having issues. Should I raise the salinity or just do pwc daily. Ammonia is a lil high... About 10. Did a pwc and brought it down a lil. Has yellow tang, watchman goby and eel in it. No signs of ick, just the other issue.

I could be wrong but your beneficial bacteria could be dying due to the extremely low salinity. If brackish water is around 1.015 or lower, you could be looking at a different type of nitrifying bacteria that you don't quite have yet. I had read that the last stage of hypo shouldn't go below 1.009. I'm not an expert in hypo because I have never performed it, but from what I have read this is the best answer I could come up with.

I would just do a water change with hypo water. Fresh salt should kick the bacteria in action

 

[Kio707]

Just did one 3 days ago... That's why I got the worry...

 

[Hondatek]

The bacteria tends to go into a dormant state . It can die but I didn't experience that with my tank .

Maybe try another one and see. If it doesn't work maybe move the fish to qt and raise salinity in main tank .

+1…………
With ammonia that high, I wouldn't wait to see if another PWC works. I would remove all fish and put into QT and slowly raise the salinity in the DT, ASAP.

 

[Kio707]

QT is at full salinity... May just slowly raise it and see what happens...

Quick update... Tang, Koran, goby, clown, and betta are good. Still in QT and eating fine. I'm about to set up a 60g for a QT and move them over. Of course, no signs of ick in DT... Just debating on whether or not to start putting up the salinity or not... Getting an algae bloom and still having issues with prams.. Think imma just do it.

Why transfer them over? That might stress them more even though its a bigger tank

 

[Hondatek]

If you do raise salinity in the dt I would move the fish to qt personally . It's not like the stress from the move is going to give the fish more ick they allready have it ya know.

Betta and tang aren't small... Kinda crowded...

QT is full salinity... Put them in shock..

 

[Hondatek]

O ok gotcha. Forgot yours was setup that way.

New guys in QT... Not great pics, best I could get.
