Not at all.do you mind if i call in dr.
I hope you can recover! I might have missed it, do you have a QT process in place for all new comers?We lost 8 fish yesterday :mad: I'm not sure what happened, they just started dropping like flies. I'm starting to wonder if its not just ich, but also velvet. The spots are quite numerous, and it would explain the numerous quick deaths. But if velvet, how is any one alive still? We have a few fish that are visibly infected, but still eating. And we have a number of fish that don't have any visible signs of infection. No spots, no lethargy, no swimming into powerheads, no scratching. If it is velvet, is it possible to leave some fish untouched? The untouchables include a tiger goby, a pink spotted goby, an ornate leopard wrasse, a melanaurus wrasse, a dart fish, and a coral beauty. We were able to pull out 3 fish to try and save them, but it didn't help, they succumbed pretty quickly after that.
I feel bad for all the people reading this build thread, who as they go along, are like "this is so cool!" then they get to the end and it's all off a sudden, "this sucks, all the fish died" like a bad ending to a good movie. Thanks for reading if you're still here.
Well that really blows. It must have started as ich and then came the velvet when I added a trio of anthias from divers den 12 days ago. The first spots showed up a month ago so I don’t think it could have been velvet this whole time.
Good to hear! Best of luck with the trap. Be patient. I'd put it in there for at least a day or so before you actually try to catch anything with it.We were able to catch the sailfin tang and 2 clowns the night before last. Gave them a 30 minute H2O2 bath and put them in a holding tank. They're still alive, so hopefully they'll make it. Everyone else in the DT is still alive too somehow, we're going to pick up a trap from the LFS and see if we can catch anyone else.
What program did you use to make your sketches? I would like to do the same. I am currently starting my upgrade also. Just ordered a planet aquariums tank.It’s happening!!
Hubby said we can get the 310g peninsula tank from Planet Aquariums that we’ve been eyeing for a while! We put the order in at our LFS this past weekend. Tank should arrive in about 3-4 weeks I think. There’s so much to do before then! We decided to build our own stand and canopy to give it a more built-in look. The sump will be behind the wall in the unfinished part of the basement, so we’ve got some work to do there to turn it into a proper fish room!
This is going to be a pretty slow build. We’re going on vacation in July and want to wait until after we’re back to get it up and running. One less thing to worry about that way. So we’ll be taking our time gathering equipment and getting the fish room ready.
I haven’t fully decided on the entire equipment list yet, but I think we’ll be doing live rock from KP Aquatics, T5/LED hybrid lights, and probably a custom sump from a guy that works with our LFS. The plan is lots of fish with a mixed reef. We'll be combining our current 75g and 32g tanks into this one, plus adding some more tangs and a large angel. Tank dimensions are 96.5 x 30.5 x 25.
Pictures to get everyone excited!
Tank will go in this room behind the couch.
Here are the plans for the framing of the stand and canopy. The living room on the floor above is sunken-in, so the ceiling here is a bit jenky. The stand is based on @RocketEngineer's design.
And here's the rendering of the final product. The sides of the canopy will lift up in 3 sections to give us full access to the tank.
I'm so excited, this is going to be amazing! Stay tuned to watch our progress building everything over the next few weeks!
