Haven't done a WC yet. Just letting it brew with the pods, phyto, and bacteria. It's looking good. I've got the 30 gallon fish QT up and running now.

I'll pick up some pvc elbows and an air stone.

The first fish going into the QT are the 3 fish in my 20. They've been in this tank since May 16', I think. I want to treat them with prazipro and reef rally to start. Ive seen the wrasse flash against the rocks or glass once in a while, but looks very healthy otherwise. Might be flukes as I see no sign of ich. They all look really good. So im just going to get them into QT and take it slow.

I have this fish trap

Sea Side Aquatics Collapsible FTC - Small Fish Trap https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CYTQ4L8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_SsQJybWWH15NB

Its all together and ready to drop into he tank. Im just feeding them a little extra mysis and giving them vitamins and selco before transfer.

I have not tested for anything else. I love walking into the kitchen every morning and smelling the ocean.
