I set up a tank at work... I Have some down time so I put in a nice tank Its a Breeder 40 with 35lbs live Rock, a Cascade 1500 and UV, 2 70w HQI Metal Halides and 2 36" 420 Actinics, and an auto top off with a float valve that kicks on a mag 7 in a 5 gallon bucket of ro/di. I dose Sea balance and do 5 gallon change every week.
the 2.5 is the first tank i brought in, it was run on a small canister filter I dont remember what kind.
This is day one about Three weeks ago.

Thanks, yea its cool cause the guys are like what can we get for the tank so i give them a list and they buy stuff. the only hard part it making sure they dont over stock it too fast. We went a bit fast as it were, but the prams are fine. For fish we have 5 cromis 2 false Percs 1 farmer pygmi angle 1 orange spot Knight Goby I might get a delivery today Corals and a cleaner crew.

My Farmer angle has Lymphocystis, and I think it’s getting worse... :( I may have to try to catch him quarantine but I haven’t had a hospital tank set up so I don’t know. I might have to try to get that 2.5 gal back up and running. Or I wonder if I should leave him in there none of the other fish are getting infected and he doesn’t seam to be suffering. In fact he is very active and never hides always picking at the rocks.

You don't need to QT for lymph, it is not contagious to other species, there is usually a DNA match, just feed him good quality food, add zoecon and zoe, and low stress and he will be fine. The stress of catching him and QT him will most likely make things worse.
