Singlefin Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Any idea how you got ick? Stress from the transfer? That sucked. Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 looking great on the diy, but so far it is a great start! can't wait to see more progress. Link to comment
heifinator Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Any idea how you got ick? Stress from the transfer? That sucked. Didn't QT long enough is my guess. It was the most agressive ich I have ever seen. One day, all fish fine, eating healthy. Next morning all covered with white spots, when I got home from work all but 2 fish were dead, 4 hours only my goby was left, he died in the hospital tank a few days later. Seen ich in friends tanks, experienced it many times, never seen something like that =( But I am moving on! I have a better QT system in the works. Link to comment
jec11718 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 probably wasnt ich....maybe brooknella? sp.?? but qt the new ones and let the DT sit fallow...it will die off and then add the new fish after 8 to 10 weeks...HTH Link to comment
heifinator Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 As said in past posts, already did the fallow period. Link to comment
heifinator Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 New ATO (DIY) and BRS media reactor are hooked up. Also, for those that care, the new red sea max tests are really nice, was amazed. Will post sump pics tomorrow! Link to comment
heifinator Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have a couple SPS frags and refused to buy anymore until I was sure that I had great growth, health, and Polyp Extension. I tweaked my params and equipment and feel I have a good stable system that will support a SPS heavy system now! Photo evidence below! Comment if anything looks bad / good! Full Sump Shot Refugium with LR / no macro algae currently Reactor, overflow, and filter sock Blastomussa Brown / Sage Zoas Grey / Pink Zoas First Acro - PE Yay! Purple Monti? - PE Yay!

Paigee Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Wow bummer about the ich! That would be heartbreaking to lose fish you had had for so long I'm glad you didn't lose heart and are starting again! Will follow along! Link to comment
heifinator Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 It was pretty bad... Been through it once before a long time ago. This time was so much worse, just made me more determined lol. Link to comment
