Ended up using New Life Spectrum Ich Shield for the treatment this round after removing all the corals from the 720. Fish are doing much better did lose some good ones though: emperor angel, Heniochus butterfly, snowflake clowns, mimic tang, blue eyed tang, maybe a few others. This rock stack is impossible to find the dead fish when they wedge themselves into the reef... I was only able to find half of the bodies to remove them from decaying in the system...

I am sorry to hear about the fish losses. You had some awesome fish! I am glad to hear the remaining fish are doing well.

Yesterday I tore into the bin closest to the door and pulled all the fish out which included the following: a pair of large purple tangs, desjardini sailfin tang, one spot rabbitfish, pair of white clowns, falco hawkfish & flame angel... I also pulled a sohal tang, floweri tang, melanarus wrasse, flame hawkfish and yellow tang from the sump and moved them all to the 720 for CP preventative treatment. Goal is to get the coral system to a fallow state while I build out the new system...

Think I may have smashed the flame angel with the rock shuffle while I was catching the fish. He was swimming funny. One more bin to go and I’ll be on target.

Did a 200 gallon water change and re added the ich meds and the prozipro per instructions to the 720. All the fish look amazing, one more week to go to hit the 21 days of ich shields recommenced dosing period.

Emptied bin number 1, caught all the fish, now going fallow on the bins and coral systems, found my dwarf golden eel... and this beast:

Now all fish are in the 720 getting some CP and prozipro... I added a temporary 50 gal barrel sump so I can run some carbon next week and remove the meds

Nice looking collection and an interesting view angle.

Great video. Agreed, the angle was excellent. Like a dog or a kid shot it, LOL!

Here is what I came up with to feed my daily sheets of nori (two different kinds)

OK so I'm still waiting on my Aquarium Engineering gear to arrive so I can move the bins and filtration into their final spots in the fish room. I've had a few false alarms with AE telling me it's on it's way then two weeks passes again and still nothing. In the meantime here is the update...

Fish are fully recovered and ROCKING!!
