lock the new fish in small confiment with my cleaner shrimp ? lol 

 

I have heard it works for some but not usually. 

[Clown79]

It may be ich, it may not.

 

The fish is most likely pale from stress from shipping and being in a new home.

 

I qt my fish now for 4 week observation because I got velvet once and lost my fish from it. 

 

In Cda the only way to get meds is with prescription from vet. Some stores may have copper and other available treatments

Well, it’s already in the tank so if it was me I would just see how it looks tomorrow.

Chasing at meals = should be ok for now, as one is trying to establish dominance and become female (bigger). 
Chasing all day long = not ok, likely mean they’re not compatible for one reason or another. 

For the most part, my pair stay within 5-6” of each other, sharing the same sleeping spots, doing their little dance, etc. 

 

get a coral clipper and clip off the stems of the plugs. Better yet some corals can be popped off the plug completely and mount directly to your scape.

Great macro shots of your corals. I really like all your coral choices and agree with the suggestion to pop the corals off the frag plugs to give a more natural look to your reef.

Well whatever you did with those close ups looks great - keep em coming!
 

You can also post pics in the gallery and start a reefing Instagram account if you want to get more into the photography aspect. If you do an IG account you can also link it in your signature (like I do)... I recommend using the same name to make it easy for people to know it’s you across different sites. I changed all mine to match.. my Facebook reefing account, too.

I hated the Fluval skimmer and while I have it in storage I dont use it. I dont use the foam thing either-much easier to use filter floss and chunk it weekly. I'd say a light or better chemistry sets.

Agree dump the foam thing, make a diy media rack (or buy) and put media in that. 

 

Test kits always useful

Personally I would plug the gaps in the bottom of that chamber, have a media rack in the second with the floss, or even the first and use 2nd as fuge? 

 

Fuge light lol
