Has to be a gap between any lid type and surface of water for gas exchange. Eggcrate real name is light diffuser and can be found in same aisle at Lowes as false ceiling tiles. It is plastic maybe 3/8" squares and usually like 3'x4' pieces for about $12. Hope that helps.

pH is between 7.8-8.0 using API test kit. S.G. Is at 1.009 and other parameters are at 0.

Thank you Again Beth. I will adhere to your instructions. Im glad you chimed in and clarified 3 NOT 2 weeks after drop off of parasite. Right now trates, trites and amm are zero. I will recheck ph later.

Im almost to 1.009 now. I wish Beth would chime in. I was told on another site to use cupramine; although i have always been told that angels cant take cupramine/ copper.

Mine is a 30 gal.

I love danners. Even with a broken impeller, mine still pumped water until i got a replacement.

I feed them daily,so checking it is easy. Im just glad i put them in qt when i brought them home.

also remember that a 20 gal sump will not yield 20 gal of extra water volume, when you add baffles and skimmer etc. it robs you of that added space/volume. Go as large as you can, anything is better than nothing.

Yes I have a refractometer. I think its the safest way to go just to be sure. I think Beth has said before, once I slowly reach 1.009 and then wait 2 weeks after I see the last spots on the fish, then slowly bring salinity back up.

Disregard all the white spots, blurs on glass.

Here we go

Im trying to upload a pic.

I went through a whole battle of ich with all my fish. Went fishless in display for 7 weeks and treated all fish in qt with cupramine. I recently purchased a yellow mimic tang and a medium size coral beauty from a lfs. They had the two fish for a whole month before I bought them. I learned my...

No reason to get nasty. I was gonna ask same questions. New fish need to go in qt and you said you just wanted to ensure you gave the flame what it needed; that would have been found in research first.

In my 125 reef, my clowns took to my large feather dusters, even with anemones in the tank

Garlic has little to no substantual helping properties and if fed to much as shown in research to be detrimental to fishes health.

Did you let your saltwater mix atleast 24 hrs before doing water change? That ensures not only proper mixing/dissolving, temp matches display, and S.G. matches. Tangs don't take well to ANY changes and can cause stress. If they get stressed they are more immune to getting sick. All the fish...

I know they tend to pair up easy so that should not be an issue. Thanks everyone for your input.

I want these two to be my next purchase. Are there any special requirements for these two during qt?
