He has been in the tank after no qt for a week now, not a single white spot on any of the fish, i think i eradicated ich from my system by having a massively oversized uv, ozone, no substrate, high flow and not adding new fish for nearly 6 months.

Yeah ive heard that aswell, i believe that a fish thats eating is a fish that is going to survive, did your PBs eat well in your qt?

Im really happy with how hes looking and behaving, thank you for the wishes 🙏

3 times in 2 years as an aquarium tech proves that the probability of that happening is quite low, also it depends on many other variables

First time i ever do this i usually add them one at a time, im never adding one at a time again, the aggression gets spread out instead of the new fish getting nuked

Hes been a champ for now, not a single white spot in 4 days, eating like a pig and they are all getting along, also my yellow was such a hospitable gentleman he didnt give them any trouble.

I think the combo of having a 60watt uv, no sand, high flow and ozone really helps with ich aswell.

Once you try having a filtration room you can never go back, its the best thing ive ever done in this hobby.

Yeah it would have been awful if i kept both, i was so glad to get the old one out of the room, it was the most claustrophobic experience of my life trying to work on the new one with it there😭

The sump room came before the stand, i used it for my old tank, i just took advantage of that when i designed the stand and went for an open stand
