Ok. I better get to cycling a new sponge so it'll be ready. Thank you.
P.S. I hope you do another step-by-step thread like this one in the future. [emoji846]
What kind of sponge is this?
^^This, although appetite suppression is still very possible with copper. However, we know copper treats velvet. We don't even know for sure what is in NLS Ich Shield. I recommend using a chelated copper product such as Coppersafe or Copper Power. You'll also need an API copper test kit.
Oh! Very cool. So how do you seed them? Are the somewhere in a refugium?
I've got my HOB picked out for my HT/QT at least. What is the general consensus re: Amquel or Fluval Bio? Is there better?
Oh, maybe there's an article around here somewhere?
You NEVER want to mix an ammonia reducer with any medication, especially copper. I'm not entirely sure how long Amquel remains active in the water.I added a small amount of Amquel to the QT yesterday. Planning to dose Coppersafe tomorrow. Running carbon until tomorrow. Do I need to worry about Amquel/Coppersafe interaction, or does the Amquel not hang around?

I prefer the Aquaclear HOB powerfilter. It comes with a very porous sponge capable of housing tons of nitrifying bacteria. You can buy replacement sponges for cheap, and always keep 1 or 2 down in a high flow area of your sump for seeding purposes. It takes one month minimum to fully seed IME; longer is always better.
Question is; how long is the Kanaplex active during this setup? I want to add Prazipro but not at the same time as Kanaplex. Should I do a water change?
@Humblefish How is the Angelfish doing? It's been a week now in observation. Any signs of distress or velvet?
1) When I set it up do I need to use water from my DT or can I simply make some and add it to the QT.
2) What visible health issues should I be observant of when adding two clowns to the QT. I'm aware that I should pay attention to swimming patterns and white spots (ick) when selecting the fish from the LFS. What else?
To Humblefish>>. It's been a while. How is Licorice doing? Did the lymps go away? Did he find his forever home?
Will you be doing another project like this one? Thank you for the good news.
