Just for clarities sake on the cupramine, you target a dose of 0.4 mg/l and take 5 days to get to that concentration. Then you hold at that concentration for six weeks. Am I correct on that? Also, important to note that any water changes would affect the concentration in the tank, so new water would need to be dosed at the tanks concentration as well. My tank has gone through much of the same cycle of neglect That yours went through. I’m sad to say I’m still not really out of it, I hope to be soon though.

Have you considered any of those prognathodes marcellae on divers den lately. Kind of a unique fish.

Good ol’ pandemic pricing. Seems like there is a probably a joke to be made about quarantining fish.

I'm in Mexico, but I always check LADD, I think that before the pandemic the prices were somewhat similar. Man if only I could buy fish from that section.

How are people uploading pictures these days? Back when I was more active, it was photobucket, but I think that doesn't work any more, right?

By the way, what product do you recommend to use instead of prazi during qt?

I typically do a fresh water dip if I suspect flukes. It’s a great way to determine if the fish is actually infected. 5-10 minutes in freshwater matched for temp and pH will clean them off the fish. If I see flukes, then I’ll dose Prazi.
I’ve kind of had more issues with prazi than I’ve had successes.

OK, I decided I am too old to get stressed out by aggressive fish during a pandemic LOL. So, the following happened:
Current Stock: Amphiprion occelaris “gladiator” x 2 – still growing out in the fuge. Apolemichthys trimaculatus Apolemichthys xanthurus – currently in the fuge looking for a new home. Centropyge bispinosa - died. Unsure why. Chaetodon burgessi Chaetodon ephippium Chaetodon mertensii Chaetodon lunula x 2 Chaetodon vagabundus x 2 Chaetodon semilarvatus - of course the most expensive fish in the tank up and dies for no apparent reason. Chaetodon kleini – removed all but 1. Chaetodon rafflesii – was never able to catch him. Just disappeared one day. Darn murderous vagabond! Chaetodon ulietensis Chrysiptera parasema x 2 Chrysiptera talboti Ctenochaetus cyanocheilus Ctenochaetus strigosus Ctenochaetus tominiensis Ecsenius midas Forcipiger flavissimus Genicanthus lamarck – M/F pair Halichoeres chrysus x 2 Halichoeres melanurus Hemitaurichthys polylepis x 3 Holacanthus ciliaris – sold to new home. Holacanthus tricolor Labroides dimidiatus Microcanthus strigatus Pomacanthus imperator – sold to new home. Too aggressive. Pomacanthus navarchus Pomacentrus alleni Pomacentrus coelestis Salarias ramosus Zebrasoma xanthurum – sold to new home. QT has the following: Chaetodon xanthurus Centropyge bispinosa – tiny Will likely move the QT fish over soon. Probably nothing planned for the near future, as fish selection online seems pretty low right now.

Good to see an update Peter. Feels like this forum and especially this part of the forum is crickets compared to what it used to be.
You don’t by chance have any of Ted’s info? It would be nice to see an update from him. Maybe send a PM if you do.

Here's an updated video from the other day. Really happy with the collection at this point.

Thanks. Somehow I ended up with ich in the tank (I assume transferred from QT via a cup, feeding utensil, tubing, something like that). Cupramine was successful, though there were some losses.
Here's an updated list of the inhabitants. Amphiprion occelaris “gladiator” x 2 – moved from the fuge to the main diusplay. Apolemichthys trimaculatus Apolemichthys xanthurus – currently in the fuge looking for a new home. Chaetodon burgessi Chaetodon ephippium Chaetodon mertensii - died from ich. Chaetodon lunula x 2 Chaetodon vagabundus x 1 - one died from ich. Chaetodon kleini Chaetodon ulietensis Chrysiptera parasema x 2 Chrysiptera talboti Ctenochaetus cyanocheilus Ctenochaetus strigosus Ctenochaetus tominiensis Ecsenius midas - accidentally killed by me when I left him high and dry in his hole during a water change Forcipiger flavissimus - disappeared one day. I *think* his remains eventually found their way to the Tunze. Genicanthus lamarck – M/F pair Halichoeres chrysus x 2 Halichoeres melanurus Hemitaurichthys polylepis x 3 Hemitaurichthys zoster x 2 Holacanthus tricolor Labroides dimidiatus Microcanthus strigatus Paracanthurus hepatus - I was getting too many comments about all the yellow in my tank. Pomacanthus annularis - Tiny juvi. I would have rather gotten another blueline, but they are WAY too expensive right now. Pomacanthus navarchus Pomacentrus alleni Pomacentrus coelestis Salarias ramosus Xanthichthys auromarginatus

That’s a bummer about the ich outbreak, and sorry to hear about your fish that passed.
How much are the blue line angels going for at the moment? I haven’t seen one in person in a long time. And did you ever hear back from Ted?

Tank looks awesome, it is a lot of yellow, but I like yellow.
Always such an inspiration. Hope You’re doing well. I’m in the middle of farm season, so barely enough time to feed the fish, but maybe this fall I’ll be able to start adding a few cast members back to the tank.

And thanks for the kind words... probably best you don't have the time now. Availability and prices are still all over the place. I have yet to see a falcula butterfly since early 2020, and for some reason yellow pyramids are now 200-300 dollars a pop!
