LingonK ~ PeakSe ~ CycleE? How bout them Aptasia!?!?

I'm not sure if you're still speaking Klingon or not... but the only aptasia I had came from Palmetto Reef on the Garf Bonsai. His tank was infested with them, I actually pointed that out to him. The two that were on the frag plug got scraped off then proton torpedoed in Coral RX Pro. Haven't seen them since.

Or, dump the whole bottle in because you can't overdose. I'll test tomorrow and see where the ammonia and nitrite are.

So uh... we just ordered fish... yea yea, I know. The tank isn't even finished cycling yet. We have to QT them first, always QT. Even tho we are ordering from the divers den with wysiwyg fish... I've gotten fish with velvet from them in the past. I have an empty 5g and a seeded sponge filter that should work perfectly. If not Wal-Mart sells 10g tanks for just over $10. I bet you're wondering what kind of fish I got. Well, they are small fish of course. We're going for quantity here, not size. Lots of small peaceful fish swimming everywhere... ok ok enough dragging this out.

If you are close to a petco, I believe has a dollar a gallon sale going on now. You could throw a few pices of pvc to help with territory issues. I'm sure you have some around from the build.

Oh don't tell me that... I don't need any more tanks and I've spent enough already.

I planned on some PVC elbows that are most definitely left over from the build for hidey holes as well as a bowl of sand for the wrasse. My concern is the basslet being a bit rough because of the QT situation. It'll be more aggressive than the wrasse. Hopefully everything is just fine and there won't be any problems between the two.
