Thanks, Frank.

Thanks, @Lost in the Sauce
I think I will get the bioballs cycling in a separate tub using the Fritz, maybe even buy more bioballs to cycle also this way. That way I can always have cycled bioballs ready for QT/Hospital transfers when necessary. This is also my long-term plan with my 125-125 system to keep bioballs in one section to keep them cycled for jump-starting other systems.
I keep sponges for my Auqaclears in all my sumps at all times. This way I can have cycled media if ever needed. It also is a good place for pods to reproduce while they sit there lol. Has been super helpful over the years.

I run sponge filters in my quarantines, And always have two in the sump I can pull out at a moment's notice. Two birds, one stone.

The current one, as FedEx is useless. I never thought I would say this, but the USPS rocks lol. UPS is a far second right now.

I am having a world of moments this morning, tang chasing wrasse so he can't eat.

Black clown trying to make the torch a house. He was so happy. While making lunch I come back to the large female clown. My guess is he was having so much fun and being happy. She got so ticked off and had to crash the party.
Grainy picture. I took what I could while I could.

I can see it now.

Frank calls FedEx with Simon on 3 way, convo starts with Frank in US English and then Simon takes over with slang and curse words the FedEx rep has never heard before.

"OK listen here you knob, I am tired of all of the tossers messing up these bloody orders. This claim is valid you plonker......"
