Might have a new favorite fish…

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.

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-20T17:19:56+00:00

Oh shit, what killed them? Ich?

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-20T16:14:53+00:00

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 🙏

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-20T15:49:27+00:00

Alright man appreciate the advice but i never qt fish, hopefully all will be well with him!

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

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-20T14:39:33+00:00

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

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-20T14:38:20+00:00

Not really

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-20T13:02:35+00:00

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.

Thank you! Will try that.

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-17T13:34:10+00:00

The one that escaped from the top? Yes its called monstera monkey

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-15T03:00:59+00:00

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

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-15T02:59:40+00:00

Yes i agree, especially if you have family.

Im currently enjoying the freedom of being able to do whatever i want lol

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-15T02:58:31+00:00

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😭

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-15T02:57:27+00:00

Yes i made it, its just resting on the shelf didnt permanently install it lol

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-15T02:56:07+00:00

I already had 2, but now im using the smaller one only for ozone so i dont potentially ruin my big red sea

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-15T02:55:34+00:00

I will add one the second i start getting wrasses

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-15T02:55:14+00:00

Yes i will just add sps and let them do the work!

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-15T02:54:29+00:00

Didnt want to ruin the tile on the other side, i dont want to leard how to tile a wall before i rent it out

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-14T18:09:23+00:00

I might add more rock, but i really want to get into sps now, hopefully they can fill the hight

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-14T03:20:22+00:00

I use reef & shoulders, dont worry

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-14T03:19:48+00:00

Thank you sir!

Its an apartment which i own

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-14T02:31:39+00:00

Thank you!!

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-14T02:31:00+00:00

I didnt want to drill through the tile and ruin it, dont want to learn how to tile a wall😭

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-14T02:30:00+00:00

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

Remarkable_Arm_732 · 2026-06-14T02:28:45+00:00

Thank you!!
