I didn't do a complete tank transfer as it was documented above, they switched containers twice because yes, I admit I didn't realize how quickly ammonia would take over. I had done plenty of research on that method and have seen several people who did it the way that I tried. Because several...

Yes, I'll be getting one. Figure it's a decent investment. What sort of copper would you say is best to use? Did a methylene blue dip. Gosh I hate doing dips it's terrifying! I managed to set up my old 29 which I put them in with some fresh water since I'm still not sure where everything stands...

If my DT has had prime in it at some point, can I no longer use the sponges from the sump if I'm going to be using copper?

At this point I would feel much more comfortable treating preemptively as you've said. I was against it at first because yeah, why would you treat something that isn't sick? But by now I think I like that idea better. I suppose I'll be getting a copper test kit and all that since copper seems...

Of course it was something that made me pay closer attention to everything, but by that point there wasn't all that much I could do. I acclimated them all to a 10 gallon when I got them. I planned to have them there, with seeded and used sponges and a rock full of algae for one of the fish...

It does sound like you're very lucky, I've looked at Paul B's things, it just seems like there's a whole lot more ongoing maintenance for that method than there is to treat at the beginning and call it a day more or less. I have passed on other fish that I didn't like the behavior of, none of...

That's correct I didn't since I planned on doing a TTM from the start since I never had problems with fish eating right away until this batch. It wasn't until I saw the fish from the top down once it was in my tank at home that I noticed just how thin it was and decided that doing a transfer...

Hi everyone, I posted a similar thread on R2R so I'm sorry if you're seeing it again, but this is a much more close community and I can already predict the answers I'm going to get there since there's a lot more 'robots' who just sit out the same information no matter what. So over the...

Well it looks like I have a killer crab on my hands. When I put everything back in my tank after the move, I added the two little crabs I had to the DT. They had previously been in the sump, because one of them was carrying eggs and I was afraid that if they hatched DT would be overrun by...

Well tonight was a bit of a roller coaster. Not a big one, just the little dragon ones at the carnival. I got my 'tanks' all ready for TTM and started putting everyone into the containers. I got my clownfish, cardinal, and neon goby all in their containers. Then moved to disassemble the other...

'Tanks' are all ready for transfer! I may have also gotten a black clown goby today and another green one. I love them so much.

Oh my the jumping! I drip acclimated them in a 5 gallon bucket because those bags are just tricky, and boy oh boy was it tricky to catch a fish with a square net in a circular container :confused: and he was jumping several inches out of the water up the side to try to avoid my net. It was...

Very busy!

So I went to LFS today and I got some new friends! I got a Midas Blenny, and an Algea Blenny, and a yellow and green clown goby. Drip acclimated them to my water and have them all in a temporary holding tank. I also got a yellow and green clown goby. Their expert there, who I trust the advice of...

I'd love some of the xenia but that's about an hour from me and my schedule is a bit too booked for a couple hour trip like that for the next week or two. Good luck, that coral sure is happy though.

Where in central jersey, central could cover a pretty broad range? If you don't want to share you could give a general travel estimate from 07035, willowbrook mall or pm

I'm watching them carefully today, unless fish have really sensitive scales that injure easily I can't imagine what he might have scraped himself on. He loves the submarine which is all smooth ceramic. There's the little castle but it doesn't have any really sharp edges, and the PVC which makes...

It's an API test kit, there is nothing in the water except Prime and some bottled bacteria, no medications.

Do we need to be paid NJRC members or do anything special other than order and pick up at the meeting? RSVP to something or anything like that? EDIT: Turns out I am not on a POTO budget but wow do they have some great colors!!

Sounds good, I'll keep open to what others come up with, they're in a somewhat cycled QT so it wouldn't disrupt too much with the biological filter so I think I'll do that to start. I was planning to start TTM this weekend anyway finishing up with getting them into the DT but I'll keep them a...
