What about if you filled an old nylon( I know you have a few!) with live sand, either from E's tank or I could scoop you some and filled the filter up with that?

That may work. I took all the rock from her sump already :)

Wonder how long it would take to seed a new canister filter? You may want to get one and start it in E's tank or bring one over here and I can set it up and stir my sump up really well.. Lots of good gunk hiding in there. I'm thinking your going to be needing something for a month or 2 at least to leave your display fallow.

I think it takes about 3 weeks. I'll scoop some sand, and I bought a bucket of IO and prime, so I can do lots of water changes for a couple of weeks

I added a bunch of bubbliers to my qt tank, it seemed to help, also FW dips really helped the fish breathe better. Fairly certain I would of lost my king angel if I hadn't done a FW dip on him.

Laurie, the fish look ok, I think it's more the O2 levels are a bit low. I'll do a 80% water change today and see how they look. Not sure it's velvet still, and so far the 2 remaining fish in the display look fine. No idea how I'm going to catch them :(

Damn Brad... this really sux.
Hope you can keep this under control now.

Mad props to Christy for giving you a hand...

if anyone has chaeto, I think that would help.
I am sure that there would be bacteria hanging out on that.
I have used that a few times to help start a tank.
sorry to hear of your problems.
good luck
Neal

Good idea Neal. I've got a bunch in another tank. I'll add that today.

I added some prime to the tank, so that should help with the NH3 a bit. I hope. New water in progress, although I should probably let it mix until morning.
Not sure what you are looking for, but I've got some rock that I took out of my tank because it was all covered with hydroids. It is cooking in a bucket and there is LOTS of crap on these!

I could trade you for some other rock as I guess the treatment tank is going to nuke the rock from ever being used in a tank again due to the copper - correct?
