It is definitely an underrated Angel. I'll have to stop by one of these days to check your tank out.

Hey Everyone, I'm going in a different direction with my fish selection, and wanted to offer up a quarantined (with both Copper Power and Prazipro) Singapore Angelfish who is eating both pellets and frozen food (a real pig). He never made it into my reef tank, so I don't know how good of a...

Nice updates dude! A lot more progress than what I've had lately :giggle:

That's a really good point. Not sure if reefcleaners quarantines newly added specimens before adding to their main tanks (which is what I would obviously do), otherwise, a fishless system is only as good as your most recent additions. Honestly, I'll never know, but it at least gives me a chance...

No pesticides to speak of, and my next door neighbors have a pool (no garden), so I don't think they have anything coming into my yard. I'm fairly certain the culprit was Brooklynella (based on their physical signs and how quickly they all succumbed to it). But just to make sure, I'll be doing...

Yeah, that'll be the plan. I usually put them into acclimation boxes first to get them acclimated, but I have the QT tanks so I might as well take the extra cautionary step.

Thanks!

Yeah, I might just go with some rather basic fish this time around, so that I don't risk losing such pricey specimens. When it comes down to it, if I can't quarantine the fish myself (which I feel like I've gotten much better at through this process), then I won't get the fish.

Thanks dude. Me too.

I hope so too. They're all eating and seem fine now, but so did several of my other fish a few days ago.

NOT-SO-GREAT UPDATE Hey Guys... it seems like almost immediately after my last update back in October, things started going downhill for the tank. Hence the lack of updates... :( The worst of it (and the most recent/last nail in the coffin) is that pretty much all of my fish have died due to...

Sorry. Didn't see this until now. I just used special bits with my drill. I think I got them at Lowes or something.

Check out my build dude! I plumbed my sump outside to a shed that only gets an hour or so of direct sunlight. The temperature fluctuation hasn't been horrible (especially if you have it well-ventilated), but it certainly fluctuates a ton more than in my air-conditioned/heated house. The way I...

Great question... for me, it was largely due to room availability in the drain section, and I didn't want it to be too crowded in that section since I knew I would have to change the fleece filter roll, clean the filter roller from time to time, etc., and also so that if my emergency drain was...

It's connected directly to the main drain, then I have an emergency/trickle drain going directly into my skimmer section.

Nice! Almost the same dimensions of my peninsula CDA tank. This will be a fun one.

I use RODI for the same reason All Delight states... assuming it all checks out, then you don't have to empty then re-fill... just add salt.

Thanks dude! Yeah, Tunze is what I used to run quite a bit, so going back to my roots (at least partially, since I'll still run my MP40's).

Thanks! The skimmer has been performing really well (and it being adjustable is probably pretty key). I only empty it once a week, but it still kicks out some dark stuff. I'm sure if I pulled the rollermat off, it would just be more volume of liquid being removed. With that being said, I feel...
