Aquarium Advice FINatic
After 2 years of no issues what so ever I just had my first down turn...ick! I lost:
1 Purple Tang
1 Powder Blue Tang
Mated pair of percs
1 potters angel
2 female 1 male lyre tail anthias
1 blonde naso tang
1 tomini tang
1 six line wrasse
1 diamond goby.
I am sure that the ick rode in on my powder blue but he showed no signs when I got him...no signs in quarentine...but I put him in the display and BANG. everyone has ick. he is the only way it could have gotten there. Here is where I need help. I know not to put fish in for atleast 21 days and let the protozoan go through its life cycle. I plan on not getting another fish until the middle of May.
I am asking for any suggestions for UV Sterilizer size and flow rate. I know it must be slow to kill protozoans but what do I need for my 120 and how should I plumb it. My return flows about 700 GPH (measured from the return) should I make a seperate loop for the sterilizer or pipe it in some how. I have about 350-400 to spend.
