Thank you for everything you do for this hobby! Your knowledge and experience are moving this hobby forward to the next level.
Thank you!
Very good and informative video! Thank you
Do you also give tips on coral quarantines? Maybe a future vid??
I'll add that video to the list!
@@HumblefishReef your the best, thanks.
Thanks for that useful video on quaratining . My question to you is, is chiller a requisite if the normal temperatures are above the tank temp to be maintained. What are the other options /alternatives?
I try to keep QT temp between 76-78F, especially when using medications which deplete oxygen from the water. Other than using a chiller, the only practical means for lowering tank temperature is to blow a fan over the surface of the water. You can also use ice in a sealed bag to lower temperature, but this is not a long-term solution.
@@HumblefishReef Thanks for reply and advice. For the mentioned temp, chiller is my only option. Fans will do the job but i am worried of the temp fluctuation that will take place.
Cant tank you enough for all you have done in this hobby. BTW whats your opinion on 45 day fallow periods at temperatures of 80 degrees?
I think 45 days @80.6F is sufficient IF you also eliminate any hypoxic/anaerobic regions in your tank while going fallow: humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/new-ich-fallow-period.1824/
@@HumblefishReef interesting, but isnt that theoretically impossible for so someone to make sure there are not hypoxic areas in the tank? "Under the rocks cape etc"
@@marcelrodriguez2067 Whenever I setup a tank, I always make sure the first layer of rocks are resting on the bottom of the tank (or you can use eggcrate in-between the rocks & glass bottom.) This strategy allows me to vacuum the sand, even around the rocks, using this: www.amazon.com/Python-Aquarium-Maintenance-System-50-Feet/dp/B000255NXM/
Hey, I really want to quarantine corals and inverts, but I cannot as I live in a tropical country where the water can reach 114 degrees Fahrenheit. So, I can only quarantine fish. I could quarantine corals and inverts but I would need a chiller and it’s too expensive, so my parents won’t allow me to. So what should I do? Please let me know. Thanks a lot. Please reply.
Hey HumbleFish! If the ammonia badge goes to green (Alert) what do you do? I have a 5 gallon QT tank. Can you wait until it’s light blue to do a water change? If you recommend a WC, how much? If I can dose prime, how often do you recommend and when would I start?
@Jason P I would start doing water changes anytime the alert badge is not YELLOW. Marine fish (and corals + inverts) have a very low tolerance for ammonia which is toxic to them.
Hello, I have QT my DT for 6 weeks now @ 80.6 ° . Put 2 black mollies in for 2 weeks. Everything just fine 👍. Now for the fish on my QT, they were 2.5ppm copper for 6 week just for extra precautions. Not a single spot on them. Think it's safe to put them back in? I'm just so nervous. It was a lot of work.
Yes, they should be good to go. 👍
@@HumblefishReef I'll let you know how it goes! I watched every video, read all your threads. Fingers crossed 🤞
@@HumblefishReef If I can pick your brain, is the TTM the only way to QT an eel? I really want a dwarf, but it's a little more work than I can handle with my current work schedule. I would be afraid of missing the transfer or not have water .
@@DesertRider760 Eels tolerate both Chloroquine and Praziquantel well. And that combination will treat all parasites + deworm.
@@HumblefishReef Where can I find chloroquine? Amazon?
Where did you get the screen that you put on the egg crate?

It can be 1/4" or 1/8" holes. White or black netting. The most important thing is it says it is made of Polypropylene material.
