Got Him!!
Captured the last Chromis tonight!!! (doing the happy dance). Used 2 nets and had the wife with a good size piece of egg crate scare him into the corner. From there, I was able to trap him in one of the nets. Couldn't find a size 20 barbless hook this weekend so decided to give this one last try tonight. 30 minutes later victory!! Only casualty was my Green candy cane LBS, caught the net and snapped the base. No biggie, some super glue and back it goes.
Salinity in the QT has been dropped to 27ppt (1.021 SG). So far so good. Now a question on temp. I am running the qt at 74-75 degrees figuring at the lower temp the oxygen is better. Also been running the PH at 8-8.1. I figured that would be a good range and the lower the PH the less free (NH3) ammonia is present in the water. I do have a PH drip (sodium carbonate&rodi) to keep it stable in that range. Is my logic sound on PH and temp? Or should I go higher in the temp to quicken the ich life cycle? The risk there is less oxygen...
Thoughts?
