Just finished my 2nd week of coppersafe treatment in my QT and my Helfrichi Firefish is looking fantastic. On to week 3.

Not sure about the distance. It might have been because of the alcohol used in the air freshener and presence of that particular airborne bacteria Alcaligenes faecalis that caused my problems.

I used this kit and purchased the black netting because I liked it better than the clear.

DT has been up and running for just over 3 months now. Lights have been on for about a month. Still waiting for the ugly phase to hit but haven't seen anything as of yet.

Fish have settled in nicely with no sign of disease after a lengthy Quarantine process. (2 clowns, midas blenny and Helfrichi Firefish)

Amazing shipment from @REEFTIDE. Very professionally packed and arrived on schedule! Did a dip and placed in my tank. Corals are already opening up after a couple of hours. So beautiful.

so many polyps on this alien invader zoa
