Hello everyone!
The store I work finally got in a plectranthias inermis and I’m hoping to pick it up today!
Before I do that however I wanted to ask you guys to check out my QT setup and make sure I’m not missing anything keeping in mind I’m in Canada so medication availability is limited.
Tank: 10 gallon
Topoff: manual, at least once a day
Filter: aqua clear 20 with only biomedia and used filter floss from the cycled display, was thinking of picking some ammonia pads just in case.
Heater: Aqeuon preset (78) 50 watt heater
Lid: milk crate 3/4 covered with seram wrap to limit evap, last 1/4 covered by left over screen from red sea cover held in place with
Twist ties
Hides: two 2” PVC elbows rinsed in rodi but I got them a month ago so I’m going to rinse them again before adding
Monitoring: seachem ammonia alert badge added yesterday
Oxygenation: filter raised about 2” over the water line, air pump handy in case I have to medicate
Meds:
General cure (1 year expired but welcome to canada)
Kanaplex
Picking up some curpamine, seachem copper test kit and prazipro today and I could probably find some metro if I should have that as well, Can’t find ruby reef rally (is it legal in canada?).
Plan: inspect the fish in store and all other fish in connected tanks, bring home, float the bag for 20 minutes to temp aclimate, fill a 1/2 measuring cup with RODI and float in the tank to match temp, remove fish from bag and do 5 minute freshwater dip with seram wrap elastic ti prevent jumping during the dip, then introduce to the tank and then leave it alone. Inspect for 20-30 minutes once a day and any unusual behaviors, spots etc are noticed take some macro photos and post them here and summon the qt the gods.
Pics attached, let me know what you think and or what I’m missing!
