Thank you everyone for all the moral support and well wishes.

A special BIG THANK YOU to Lee and Doni!
It is great that you share your experience and knowledge.

It has been over a week and I just want to report that Aurum is doing great.
He is very active and eating all kinds of food!

Octoman · 08-08-2008, 11:09 AM

Awesome! How long are you keeping him in QT?

goldenmean · 08-08-2008, 11:42 AM

Im still planning on keeping him in QT for 6 weeks.
My 55g tank turns 1 year old this weekend and I dont want to give it the B`day present of Ich with its first fish.

This Saturday will be 6 weeks that the Midas has been in QT.
I just read Lee's suggested procedure for acclimating the fish from the QT to the DT. Temperature and Sg are identical in both tanks.
PH probe is in QT and I dont have one in the DT. I will be checking the PH of the DT and adjusting the PH of the QT as necessary over the next couple of days.
Whooo Hoooooo!

My 55g tank just turned 1 year old a couple of weeks ago
and this will be its first fish!

Woodstock · 08-22-2008, 08:18 AM

Well then, you deserve a medal for patience also!

leebca · 08-22-2008, 10:14 AM

My compliments and well wishes to you and your fishes (now and in the future).

goldenmean · 08-23-2008, 10:10 AM

Thank you yet again Doni & Lee!
We couldn't have done it without you.

I acclimated Aurum to the DT last night after the MH went out.
All went well. There wasn't much to acclimate him to as the Dt and QT have such similar water parameters.

Transfering him was mostly stress free for us both.
He went into his PVS home and I just moved the pipe into the container

DT
Temp 78.9
Sg 1.026
PH 8.21

QT
Temp 78.9
Sg 1.026
PH 8.16

A couple of the first photos of the Midas in the DT from last night.

Aurum's first dawn on the new reef!

first breakfast - which he ate! - then a big day of discovery.
I want to stay home from work and watch him all day.

goldenmean · 08-23-2008, 01:45 PM

Yesterday i also ordered my next fish from the Diver's Den at Live Aquaria.
Multicolored Velvet Wrasse
Cirrhilabrus luteovittatus.

He is to arrive Tuesday.
Since Divers Den has a stellar quarantine and disease prevention methods I am planning on the new fish being in my QT for 2 weeks just to make sure he is eating well and eating a variety of foods.

Octoman · 08-23-2008, 07:06 PM

Awesome, and awesome! I'm sure Aurum is loving his new playground and that wrasse is spectacular!
