Got them Friday morning, salinity was 1.016. Have increased to 1.020. will wait a few days and increase another .002. Been feeding a small amount of LRS and frozen emerald feast. I tied a price of dried seaweed to a PVC fitting. They seem very active. The Naso nearly jumped out of tank when first taken out of bag. Hippo is teenie tiny small. Naso is triple the size. I paid for the next size up Sailfin, so 2 inches or so. Looks bigger due to fins. Convict is also small but bigger than the hippo. They all attack the LRS guess they like the brine shrimp? Thinking about going to far east market on 72 to get some nori.

Congrats! So they all made it?

Take plenty of pictures. Perhaps with a ruler in front of the holding tank. I wish I had. My hippo was around the size of a quarter. Now she is almost the size of my hand.

Very happy they all made to trip. Our fish go through a whole bunch to get to us don’t they.

My tangs have always eaten LRS well. Several months ago I moved to the Apex crossover diet pellets almost exclusively. Everyone eats it well and the fish are fat so I am happy.

I get Nori from WalMart; in the Oriental food section.

Yes they all made it and the old heater I repurposed stuck on and almost cooked them. Saturday night, got up to 85 or 86 degrees. They really have had a tough couple of days. Still all looking good.

I also got 2 sea hare with the order, they are a funny creature.

Be careful with these. I got one and from what I understand, they're toxic if they die in your tank and not removed right away. Never have seen mine since the third day.

I only see mine at night

I had one dollabela sea hare starved to death in my 120 years ago, but it did no harm to my tank inhabitants.

I've had several that just "went missing" after they ate all the hair algae. No problems to the other tank inhabitants.

Half way thru QT. Sailfin and Naso are eating good. The smaller Hippo and Convict died before Christmas while I was out of town. Got store credit for Convict and they are going to resend me a hippo.

I'm not seeing any signs of sickness. Should I still go the full 30 days? Any thoughts on doing a freshwater dip? 4 to 5 minutes right?

 

[headdr]

on a side note got this leather splitting into four or five pieces. If it was a palm tree I would say it has root root. The base is all splitting apart. Is this a bad sign?

 

[GWHouston]

I did my QT for three weeks. Based on my experience it was a good decision.
