Thanks School, mark a spot in the calendar, when the basement is finished I want to extend a invite to you and your club to come out and see it all done, and also get some networking started between our clubs.

That would be awesome. I will definitely be down for the drive to come check it out! Keep me posted.

Things are looking really good. I like how you put your rock structure together. Why the fungal treatment in the QT system? Also, sorry to hear about the Naso. I was always about a QT and the benefits of one. I tried it several years back and almost killed my Foxface due to an ammonia spike. After I had almost killed it, I decided then that I would never do a QT again. But, a few months ago I tried again and had great success with it. I think the biggest thing you need to check is ammonia on a daily basis and be ready to perform large water changes to help combat the ammonia. For me, a 5 gallon WC means 25% on my 20 gallon QT which is so simple to do. Currently I am doing a WC every 3 days to help keep the ammonia down. I hope over the next week or so that will change to only having to do a WC on the QT once every week.
Any clue what happened to your Naso?
