Thx Geridoc... That's very helpful. Per bubblegurl post did you cycle QT? Do you alway have it going or only fire it up when you plan to buy new critters? Is pvc for hiding? No substrate?
Bubblegurl, I'm happy to post pics but not sure how on this site. Can I put them in this thread? If so, any idea how from an iPad? Or do I have to go on pc to somehow pullem in? As for DT, all fish still doing really well! Knocking on wood! I'm really happy!:laughing:
You do not have to cycle - the filter material that I store in the DT sump is loaded with bacteria, and produces an instant cycle. I do keep tue qt running all of the time, but I don't know why, I just do. The PVC is for hiding, and unless you are isolating something that needs sand (wrasse or a pearly jaw for example), no substrate should bu used. Sand will tend to remove medication from the water.
