Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Manose]

@Manose is there anywhere here in Knoxville that carries your salt? I have a truck...they do let me out of Knox county.

No as mine came from South Carolina in Columbia at https://www.aquariumspecialty.com/ . I get a very uneasy feeling when I drive through Jefferson City so I will avoid that part of the state till the day I day and even then I will not go through it :P

Hey everybody!! Sorry been out of touch with r2r. The new job as been kind of hectic and have had a lot of extra time. I'm not about to try and catch up on the over 30 pages I'm behind. Anything important I missed?

How is the new job?

it's good, getting my feet under me but I think it's going to be a good time moving forward.

Lol. I said the same thing yesterday! It's ok, it would be worth it. 15 year old little girl being texted by a 31 year old male.

One of my favorite songs!

@Lowell Lemon both of those are great songs

 

[Lowell Lemon]

Another favorite due to all the Southern Girls I used to know! LOL

Possibly a false alarm, It looks more like precipitation in the tank now that I look closer. I’ll most likely put all these fish through the hospital system as well just to be safe. Start from scratch with no disease systems and clean fish. What’s the best way to sterilize all my equipment; feeding containers that have tank water, water change hoses, nets, all that stuff?

What’s the verdict? Fingers crossed for you. I convinced myself I only had ich and lost a few days before finally acting. Dont do what I did! Tag me if I can help. Its fairly fresh but really treating and meds are both pretty new to me.

I bleached everything but the display/rock between uses and QT tank cleanings. Will likely never use vinegar again per the results save for a pump here and there.

I just laughed so hard!!!!!!

@Scurvy you just gave me food for thought. I tend to only bleach after an illness. Maybe my thinking should be all the time.

 

[Scurvy]

I've never seen glass so clean in the empty QT tanks... All bought used and cleaned with vinegar originally. While bleaching them after QT use I just dumped everything Id been using in there and ran a power head for a couple hours. Nets, Heaters, Powerheads PVC fittings, HOB filters.. You name it! Moving forward for any deep cleanings I'll use it again or of course after any other outbreaks. Skimmer, Tanks, Return Pump etc.

Working on getting hospital tanks set up. The fish seem to be improving naturally though.
