I have 4 fish in hypo treatment and I can't wait to add them to my display already!! I got 2 more weeks before I can raise the salinity then add them to the DT.

they're doing great in the qt tank and they're getting fatter and fatter each day.

fish in qt:
flame hawkfish
onyx clown
blue tang
dwarf angelfish

what size is the qt tank rega? how are you handling any water changes? asking because i have my 3 fish in a 20 gallon and doing 3-4 gallon water changes every other day. i also replace the filter floss every other day. i am finally in the process of bringing up the salinity..took me 5 weeks in hypo and it's going to take another 2 weeks of raising the salinity before they go in my dt but they are looking super healthy and eating like champs.

They're in a 20g also, doing water changes 2x a week... I put PRIME in the morning and evening to control ammonia... I also have an ammonia monitor thing in case it gets to dangerous levels (don't know if it's working though lol)

I'm gonna run my UV for a couple of days in the qt tank on the last week just to make sure i kill everything lol
