Thx man. No need to be jealous it's a constant battle with ick with every new guy who comes in for the most part but no deaths thankfully. They come in get a few dots and get better. The ones who've had it have not shown white spot again

Great thread! I truly enjoyed the process from start to finish and commend your diligent journalism of the entire project. The tank looks amazing. Did you quarantine those fish? At the rate you were adding for a while I wondering where you kept them! Did the tank cycle? Seemed like you got quite a bit done in a short period of time. Best of luck with it, it's is stunning.

Thx :-) unfortunately let the urge to stock get the best of me. Ick took out most of the tank and was left with 13 survivors. Now up to about 30 fish and the newbies get the ick for a bit. I have begun QT in 2 55 gallon systems. From there they go into a accclimation box in the main system for a day or two. Typically once they are eating in the box I let them out into the DT. So far so good

I assume the QT is for other potential illness (i.e., not ich). Since it's in the DT anyway, the fish will get it... whether they are susceptible to it is another story. Still a good idea to QT all of your new fish so good on you for that. The tank is really coming along. I can't believe how it looks.

Yes also to give them a time to relax and adapt to me. Feeding patterns and things of that nature.

You should order some gel filters. :0) Or you can try to just use a pair of blue-blocking sunglasses when taking photos... it will help with all the blue-washing we see.

Hey guys got some new frags from WWC in today. Love their auctions! Let's see how well they do. Water parameters seem to have stabilized quite a bit.
