On that note Sep, I do have a question..... I am planning on getting 2 feather dusters. I am assuing I should QT them but for how long?????

Not sure I know what you are saying D?????????? I feel they helped me in my time of need.....

I guess the biggest thing I can say it take it very slowly with your water changes after you get to the Salinity level you want. I really think that is where I went wrong. I took too much BIO out of the water. But then again like Nicetry and Geridoc said in my last post it could have just...

It was a tough fight and he just gave up last night. I want to thank Nicetry and Sepulation for all of the help through my battle trying to keep him going. I am going to set the QT up again but it will be awhile before I try again due to the fact that my work has me traveling a lot coming...

At this point he is slowly leaning to the side turning upside down and using the PVC to try and stay upright. Don't think he is going to make it through the night..... I hope he does. I had heard that about angels and coop so that is why I decided to try hypo. Hopefully he will still be...

LFS recommends adding some stress coat..... Any recommendations from this crowd??????? I trust you guys more than my LFS............ If I don't hear anything by about 9:00pm edt I guess I will have to take my chances........ Current readings.......... Ammo - 0 Nitrates - 0 (has to be from the...

OK I am really starting to get frustrated. After using Ammo-Lock yesterday the Ammo was back up to .1 this afternoon and he has lost even more color. I added some more Ammo-Lock and changed out the sponge filter with some that had plenty of BIO from my DT. I think sepulatian was right in...

Thanks for all of the info. I got the Ammo-Lock and added it. Tested the water within 10 min. and to my suprise it tested at 0........ I have just destressed quite a bit......... The ICH that was on him this morning is gone but I am going to take a look tomorrow and if there is none then I...

Of course after looing at the test kit it does not say so I guess I will just have to find out. I have a Hagen Nutrafin Ammo test kit. Is there anything else out the better that any of you would suggest??????? This is only for the QT until I can move him to the DT. I will have to break the...

Thanks for the quick response. I can now check my test kit prior to go the the LFS..... I will give updates as they come available.......

Yes I did put the other sponge in and have plenty left if I need it. Tested this morning and trites are still at zero but there is still ammo. I think you are right that I could be losing my BIO. I am going to the LFS this morning and try the Ammo-Lock. I have not used Ammo-lock, will it...

Swapped out 1 1/2 gallons of my DT/RODI mixture. Ammo still the same Nitrites are now down to almost zero......... Still need help. Don't want to keep changing out water just to find out I am making things worse......... FYI: He doesn't look nearly as bad with a magnifying glass up close...

Real sorry to hear about your loss. I lost everything when a hurricane came through so I know how you feel..... good luck......

I was finally able to get a camera so here are the pictures and the latest stats on my QT........(it's been set up since Jan 12th) Water was perfect when I started........ Ammo 0.05 Nitrites Maybe .2 (test kit reads from .1 to .3 and it looks right in between) Nitrates 10 PH 8.1 Alk 2.25 (could...

When I started this whole process I had 10 pounds of Live Rock in the tank. It has since been placed in a 5 gallon bucket with a small powerhead and a heater. I have been watching the Sal. but have not checked any other peremeters. Do I need to check anything else in this bucket or should the...

Well it turns out I had an Ammo spike over night. Not much but enough, just up to .1, trites are at .2. I have a sponge filter that has been in my sump for over a year so I am going to do a 3 gallon water change and swap the sponge. The dot looks like a pimple, last night it seemed to have a...

I have Formula Two Flake by Ocean Nutrition that I soak in Garlic and Selcon. The brine is soaked in Garlic and Selcon as well. He tears up the flake, I put a little Mysis in there last night and he did take some of it in. I have tried to put a little bit of mussel in and he pecked at it but...

I purchased an Emporer 10 days ago. Placed him in a QT and within 3 days he was covered. He showed no signs at the LFS. That's about all I can tell you.........

Water is good excpet for a little trites so I am going to swap out 2 gallons of RODI water mixed to 1.009 here in a bit. Noticed a spot on his back that does not look like ICH so I attached a pic of it. Not sure how it's going to look cause I had to take it with my phone. If another pic needs...

Didn't know about the lights. The tank was cycled when I put him in, it had been running for about 2 months and tested clean. I think the ammo and nitrites can from food that i was feeding the last fish that was in there. After this experience I plan on keeping the QT running 24x7x365. That...
