Hello everyone! Its been a while since I posted on here (march 2012!).
Ive been out of the hobby for a few years and just got my big reef tank up and going again after sitting for 3 years. Its been going for almost a year now 🙂
I had the best dumb luck in the past! I did everything wrong and everything worked out great :dunce:
Unfortunately I ignored all previous advice on QT new fish and ended up with a tank full of ich (stupid I know). :eek:
Anyway my current fish are hanging out in the 55 QT vacation tank for the next 59 days, soaking up the copper and getting better day by day (no loss yet).
After these guys go back home to the DT I wanted to use the 55 for a zebra lion and possible snowflake eel and ?????
I had a fu man chu (sp?) and juvenile emperor angle a few years ago in a 110 that both died within 1 week for still unknown causes. replaced them with a fuzzy dwarf and coral beauty a few weeks later from a LFS instead of Craigslist for the same thing to happen. All water testes came back fine, no s/s of disease and no injuries. There had to be something in that tank (bought used) that vinegar and bleach didn't kill/clean off that killed them :confused:.
I really liked the zebra lion and would like to get one again. The tank will be stocked around him, so any suggestions would be great!
Also room in a 55 is not that big of an issue for the long term (a year would be an ideal time before upgrading though), I know everyone says they will do it and then don't, but I will upgrade for my fish.
