    Hi

     

    Is Eijo Prazi Gold reef safe? the description says for preventative measure i can do small dosage but not sure if in the tank itself or the qt, although it sounds like in the DT itself, anyone know?

     

    tanks lol

    Prazigold (praziquintel in general) is entirely reef safe, i have done so recently in my tank with Zoas, LPS and sps with no adverse effects whatsoever on any fish/corals/inverts. 

    Do note that the medication might kill feather duster worms.

    That’s good to hear! emoji1303.png

    Tbh I gotten fishes from CF most of the time but there’s once my tang got fluke and killed all my other fishes in my QT.

    Which is why QT is so so important.. there's no way any LFS/source can be 100% reef safe even if they claim they quarantine. I've seen heard way too many cases of reefers adding cheap fish directly into display tank without QT and end up wiping the whole tank full of more expensive fishes.

    Your coralline algae grow beautifully and fast. Why not adding more fishes to raise no3? Btw heard you're QT your fishes can you share the process on QT with us. 

    Thanks bro! Yeah i'm looking to stock this tank up with 1 or 2 more fishes but not in a hurry, things are finally stabilizing again so want to do thing slow! 

    I do QT every single fish that goes into the system with a tiny 25L QT tank, i use copper power, praziquientel and metronidazole for medication. They will be medicated with copper at therapeutic level for a month.

    However, the naoko wrasse was bought from CF (IMO, this is the only place i will get my fish from if i don't QT, as they have industrial grade UV running throughout all their system) and since they are relatively sensitive to medication, i chose to QT without medication and released it into the display tank after 3 weeks or so.

    Red millie, one of the new frags i bought a month ago to 'test' water after things started stablizing.

    Miyagi tort, had lots of burnt tips and it turned totally brown, was surprised this didnt STN in the end.

    One of my favourite, a blue body red poylp acro, this took the crash surprisngly well and didn't change much.

    Not exactly sure what this is, got it for free from a friend and its coloring up really nicely. Purple nana perhaps?

  7. Day 175

    Its been almost 2 months since i updated this tank thread!  Glad to see the forum's back to normal and my thread is opened!

    Its been a rocky past 2 months for the tank, battled a 'mini crash' where i lost quite a few SPS and inconsistent nutrients level. 

    In summary, i started losing SPS and couldn't pin point it to a single source. I stopped dosing everything (except for my DIY Tropic Marin All-For-Reef solution) and started doing 10% water change every few days. 

    Weeks gone by and the tank started to stablize again, I figured what could possibly caused the 'crash' was the a certain brand of bacteria i was dosing via a dosing pump (2ml a day), had gone bad and was dosing rotten bacteria. I guess this resulted in some sort of bacteria infection amongst the SPS. LPS, zoas and anemones are totally fine as well.

    At the same time, i was battling high phosphate (0.25ppm) and am still have relatively high phosphate right now (0.15ppm).

    I went for a FM ICP test last month to see if i could pin point what was going on in the tank.

    Capture

    Some of the micro elements are depleted (surprisingly for such a young tank) and i have added TM K and A element into my AFR mix to address that. Another 2 elements of concern are Aluminium and Tin, i suspect they came from the Marinepure balls i had in my sump and had removed them.

    I will do another ICP test when the tank hit 1 year old to see how the elements have changed.
