Coop... love all 24 pages of the tank build, a lot of great information through all the issues. Thanks for sharing. And BTW Roll Tide
Thanks - I think I still have a bit of the new tank uglies . . . my sand gets dirty REALLY fast! Almost like a Diatom algae bloom after every time I clean it. I have TONS of coraline algae over everything. My parameters are awesome EXCEPT for my po4. It is high!!! So I am working on changing foods from Rods to Larrys. The Rods has little particles which I like for my smaller fish, but I does seem a little "dirty". Lots of extras floating around. So, we will see if that helps. Right now I am using 50/50. LRS, Rods plus some mysis and fish eggs. Also working on getting more corals, but fish come first in my tank!Looking GREAT ! ! !
It’s good to address early your elevated Po4
But what are your test results on Po4 in the last 3 weeks?
It might be a simple fix but sometimes with a to0 high bioload you require a larger skimmer, more flow in your DT, less feedings or more larger water changes
Looking at your fish in Quarantine you better brace yourself for a lot more nutrients once they go into the DT.
Update: everyone is doing well in the copper so far.
Except maybe my Niger.
He is the one I thought might have shown signs of ich to begin with. He is at 2.0 therapeutic level. But showing some spots here recently. They look almost like scuffs out of his skin.
Anyone know what this might be? Could it be HLLE already - been in copper just a little over a week. @4FordFamily #reefsquad

I didn’t notice until today (but she hides a lot still - so I don’t always look at her really close.). Pintail fairy and both tangs look amazing!! Planning 30 days of copper then removing copper.
I will see what I can do! I was just surprised to see this show up AFTER she has been in copper for a week and a half. I never saw much on her during the 2.5 week observation either.Could be flukes or brook, doesn’t look like ich to me. Could also be an injury. Can you post clearer pics?
Beautiful! Is he tiny? He looks really little! Do you have him in a reef tank or fowlr?My niger trigger hid a lot in the beginning and now he is all over the place
This is why quarantine is so important. Copper is an immune suppressant, who knows if it would have ever showed symptoms otherwise!I will see what I can do!

She is hiding now, and her lights are off. I will get some more later this afternoon when I feed.
Amen! I keep getting Timehop notifications of my tank I set up 2 years ago...my 10 fish that I lost from ich before I knew anything at all! So thankful I know better now!This is why quarantine is so important. Copper is an immune suppressant, who knows if it would have ever showed symptoms otherwise!
I hope it’s no big deal though
