So you decided to skip the fallow period and QT the fish? I agree with that at this point!

Yea pretty much. The remaining fish were healthy and hadn’t had any ich flare ups or anything. It’s a gamble. If I see any sort of anything I’m going to remove the scape and treat them all. My main reason for adding anything was my tank getting overrun by this ulva. I desperately needed a tang to help with that. The Moyers was at the place with the tang, gorgeous, and a great price, basically impossible to pass up.
I don’t recommend doing this. Like I said, it’s a gamble. I will treat immediately if I see anything.

The key to successful healthy fish is to feed an obnoxious variety of foods. I'm talking almost everything of quality you can get your hands on. Including adding vitamins, greens, lipids, etc etc.
You know how most people consider LRS Reef Frenzy or Rods food a complete food? To people like me, we call that a "base" and add a LOT of stuff on top of it!

Very true. What all do you recommend specifically? I feed hakari mysis & pe mysis, occasionally enriched with brightwell vitamin-M. I also feed occasionally calanus and some hakari blend called reef riot. There’s tons of pods in the tank now too.

Number 1 would be a Spiralina brine/mysis, I like the V20 Spirulina stuffed Brine/Mysis, but others are out there too. Additionally a nice basic mix would be LRS Reef Frenzy or Rods food.
Vitamin-M is good. I also like Selcon for lipids and some vitamins including vitamin C.

Nice thank you. Is there a place that ships frozen food? My LFS doesn’t carry those brands unfortunately. I’ve heard good things. The V20 is a new one but I’ll check it out. How do you add vitamin C?

Selcon has Vitamin C and other vitamins in it, it's a food additive like the one you use. Most places will ship food for you but they have to overnight ship and it's expensive. So you're best off buying a large supply. Marine Depot has a lot of that stuff and ship cheaper as they're in CA.
V20 has a lot of food, I would stick to their frozen food cubes only.

Update on the 90: Everyone is doing good, new additions seem happy and settled in finally. The tomini’s fins are totally healed already. No signs of ich or swimming into powerheads or anything weird. Very happy over here

That is a nice juicy wrasse for sure! I like summer when they have a little hangout. Ohhh! Wrong site, I apologize. I'm glad your tank has recovered. Healthy fish for sure. Did you upgrade the throttle bodies on your car repair?
Looking really good!

Thank you! I didn’t upgrade them to stage 2 or anything, dang that would of been tight, lol, just replaced both stock m3 throttles. It’s driving great now! I’m so happy to have my car back in working order, I procrastinated taking it in for awhile. 75 separate starts the computer logged with throttle errors ;Dead
