Default

My QT is currently 1.025 @ 79f with 5-10lbs of LR
I have an Aquaclear 50, and an 8watt UV run by a Quiet One 1200 on it's lowest setting

I'm not running any chems right now and probably won't
I did a week of Paraguard and it killed all my brittle stars, some asternias, and the few polyps haven't opened since

I add Paraguard when I'm acclimating and treat it as a dip, right before I net the dudes to the QT

Once I start to drop the Sg I'll put the LR in a bucket for the fallow period

Keep your Sg up until after you acclimate, then drop it over 48-72 hours if you plan on going hypo
Otherwise, keep it between 1.024 and 1.026
