Totally stole it from a guy I know!

Can't be, or everything in Rich's tank would be dead too!

In regards to QT, so much to consider... regrouping as of now.

Never knew about that, interesting. Something else to consider. Thanks Rosko!

You do have an extra skimmer kicking around...

Well maybe that's a good thing - maybe ?
It'll give you time to remove some more phosphate from your rock, and use the zeo to possibly build up more bacteria?

Yeah it sucks, but it's the best thing for the tank. Not too worried about PO4 @ .03, corals don't mind. 3 months of no fish does give me the opportunity to add some more live rock, remove an inch of substrate, finish the stand, mount the frags and the Apex, and on and on. Lots to keep me busy.

Sucks to hear bro. At least now fallow starts you'll know the new fish 3 months later will/can all be healthy. Something to look forward to!

I've never heard that, and according to a study I found, not really valid.

"The effects of dissolved oxygen on tomont development were examined. Tomonts were incubated in hyperoxic (141%), oxic (100%), hypoxic (24%) and anoxic (0%) conditions. Under the hypoxic and hyperoxic conditions, tomont development was suppressed. Under the anoxic condition, tomonts died. However, when tomonts were transferred into an oxic condition after 2 or 4- week incubation in the hypoxic condition, development resumed, showing a rapid increase in theront excystment rates 10 to 11 days after the transfer."

Thanks for doing the research Brad. I was going to get around to it... within the next 3 months, lol.

I phrased that wrong. I should have said low dissolved oxygen is stressful for fish and stress makes the fish more prone to parasites. Higher DO would help the fish be less stressed.
