New 130 brackish -Input or suggestions?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What do you mean they are in the garage? The ONLY "instant cycling" product proven to work is Dr Tim's.
 
wow people, please read entire post. I said they were in my 100 gal in the garage, that is already cycled. I am getting rid of that tank and moving its inhabitants and filter on to my 130. So instant cycle as long as water in tank is good. Right? But dont worry Fish are fine and parameters are perfect - here's a pic, What ya think? I still need to get some rock to bury the bubble strip that my wife loves so much - lol

Sorry guys forgot current stocking list
1 Mono s
2 mono a
1 green scat
2 gudgeon gobies
2 bolivian cats
1 orange chromide
and a few guppies to give them something to chase -
I would still like at least a pair of archers - these fish are all relatively slow growers and i'm sure i'll upgrade eventually.
 
thats what they were sold to me as- similar in shape to a bumblebee goby, but with a tall dorsal spike and different coloration- i cant post pics from my phone sorry- in the field all week doin this army thing
 
Okay - well it looks like I am having a nice little outbreak of ick. no casualties yet but definitely affecting fish. Both of the cats the mono s and the puffer have visible signs, Some of the others are doing the glancing thing. All parameters are fine - temp is 80- added some salt yesterday and some ick treatment today- Anything else i can do? or just sit here and hope they come through it?
 
What's your SG?
 
Bought all these from lfs that was keeping in fresh, My float says 1.002. I'm also raising temp a little bit - i don't want to go to high since i already used meds. I really do not want to lose any of these guys
 
I'd raise the SG to 1.005, to combat the parasite & make the fish more comfortable, hence helping their immune system along.
