Sepulatian "I would say that you have been VERY lucky so far. It will not last" - Yeah, I've been VERY lucky until I got home last night around 10. To my surprise, my flame was lying on its side with a curled up stiff tail, the YT stayed in the corner and did not move. I jinxed myself by...

These two fish are no where near sick or dying. I checked all vital signs. They are swimming normal, gills are not flapping hard, no heavy breathing, no gasping for air, no purple color around gills, and mouth is normal (not opening and closing). sepulatian, "by removing any excess food after...

Yep. The QT tank is a 10 gallon tank. Initially I purposely filled it up to a 3rds way so i can make room for diluting the salt concentration to bring down the salinity by adding fresh distilled water.

I got a master test kit from Aquarium Pharmaceuticals (sp) about 3 months ago. It is brand new and will not expire for 3 years. I confirmed with the company. My ammonia level for my DT tank is zero. I also thought the same thing, that maybe there's ammonia in my distilled water I'm using. But...

I also like to add that I'm using the AP master test kit which is brand new and not expired. I confirmed with the company they expire 3 years from printed date. I even double checked by testing my DT water. My DT water shows zero Ammo, but my QT shows 2.0, maybe even a lil' higher. So there's...

92ProTruck- "If the tank is 8.2 buffer the replacement water to 8.2." What if my qt water is say 7.9, what would my replacement water be, safe to be at 8.2 still? or should I buffer higher at 8.6 to compensate for the 7.9? Reminds you of high school math problems huh? lol. thanks.

Hey, Thank you for answering my questions with those good advices. I am nervous b/c it's my 1st time and really really don't want to kill my two beautiful fish. They are a yellow tang and a flame angel. No live rock in QT tank, just a couple of pvc's. My DT is a 55 gallon FOWLR w/ some xenias...
