@Crabs McJones I noticed you used those dark grey pvc pieces. I like the idea of darker hides, and suppose it might feel more natural to the fish. you like them better than the white pvc? Has it made a difference?

I don't know that it makes a difference. I just had these in my supply leftover from the 75 build. I like the grey connectors over the white connectors for plumbing aesthetics

Nice looking additions coming down the pike

 

[Crabs McJones]

Small update, everyone so far has survived the first couple days of quarantine. I did loose a mccoskers wrasse but got a replacement carpenters wrasse. My current fish list is as follows
1. False percula clown
1. Orchid dottyback (absolutely beautiful
1. Exquisite firefish
1. Midas blenny
1. Pygmy yellow tail angel
1. Yellow tang (dont ask)

Currently in the 75 is my Male clownfish (lost my female during the move)
1. Coral beauty
1. Tomini tang

And my good friend hotrocks currently has two more for me
1. Kole tang
1. Mag foxface

And that's it! (According to my wife

Thank you I'm just glad everyone is alive and eating. 30 days of copper and then 2 weeks of prazi and they're ready for the display

WHAT KIND of tank are you using for QT?

 

[Crabs McJones]

WHAT KIND of tank are you using for QT?

Aqueon 40 breeder

Aqueon 40 breeder

What you running for pumps, skimmer, lights, filter etc...? in the QT...

 

[Crabs McJones]

What you running for pumps, skimmer, lights, filter etc...? in the QT...

Hob filter, hydor powerhead and that's it. No skimmer, for lights just the ambient light from the lights in my basement. Weekly water changes and a big ol bottle of biospira and an ammonia badge. They're currently going through copper power at 2.0 ppm

 

[Jeremy Chatham]

Do you use multiple meds or just copper?
I am trying to nail down a good QT regiment.

30 days of copper, and then water changes to remove it. Then two weeks of prazi treatment. I never mix meds unless an emergency. Check out this thread by @HotRocks he has been my qt guru https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/my-current-qt-process.483371/

 

[Jeremy Chatham]

Ill check it out. Thanks. I needed somewhere to start.
I found some KAMOER PUMPS for sale, if you are interested.
Also, some great info from BRS on calcium reactors if you have one or are thinking about getting one.

I would appreciate any feedback on that thread if you get a chance to look at it.

I dont have any experience with calc reactors unfortunately. Still dosing my 2 part

you should consider the upgrade, I made the change and it is awesome. I can go on vacation and keep near perfect alk cal. and mag.
if you know anyone with a calcium reactor, please let them know about the pumps for sale. I am only going to do it for the next couple weeks probably.
these KAMOER pumps are in high demand and no one can seem to get them in stock. but I can get them.

anyways, how much 2 part are you using. When I calculated how much 2 part I was going through, and the price, I immediately went on the hunt for a calcium reactor.
expensive to start but cheap in the long run.
