Might have to eat my own words re: quarantine

Shelley, this one is big enough, I'm just short on bacteria I've got a bunch of rubble under one of the foam blocks, but the water is a bit cloudy tonight and the fish are breathing a bit fast for my liking. 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.

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

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?

Not using copper, but I'm not sure that what I'm using won't nuke the rock also. I don't have any spare to trade, but thanks. I can probably get a whack of rubble at Safari, he's got tons in the sumps.

Just read your thread..

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Hope everything works out okay for you!
