I saw them.. they were super happy and frisky. I just never knew for sure if you hypo'd them or not. I lean towards your method. Observation and treat if necessary.. Hypo though is not necessarily medicating. Iv had nothing but issues with qting fish and i only get my fish from FAOIS too.. Ill be wearing my LJ's

The good thing is, I have NEVER had a fish die from faois. He has some of the best husbandry with all his livestock that I have ever seen in a LFS.
What fish is next Carol?

I must add - I take full responsibility for my QT'ing and not where I purchased. It's my responsibility to ensure they are ready not my LFS - just some I trust more then others.
My 65 will be broken down today. I've been having a lot of problems with it - lost my MH two weeks ago (got a new one in), Lost my return pump - Thanks Joe for the new Mag 9, lost a Tunze pump 6025 - I've had nothing but problems with those things ( ran backwards when I first got it, clamp broke twice, now the prop/magnet keeps pulling forward so it stops working. For 60$ I really expected more - but now I don't have to use them! Not sure what will actually go in today - we'll see how it goes with everything.
Here's my levels - just finished taking them:
Calcium - 430
Alk - 8 dKH
SG - 1.026/35ppm
Magnesium - 1410
Ammonia - 0
Nitrates - 0

Yesterday we were able to break down the 65g tank and put all the fish into the 280 - yeah!!!! Nothing will be added for at least a week after this last bio-load. I'll be really watching the ammonia and nitrate levels.
Here are my fish in the 280 at this point:
2-Amphiprion ocellaris
1-Cirrhilabrus lubbocki
2-Gobiodon histrio
4-Halichoeres chrysus
1-Stonogobiops yasha (Yes I got him out of the sump )
1-Ecsenius lneatus
1-Wetmorella nigropinnata
13-Chromis viridis
The 75g will not be broken down for a few weeks - depending on how the 280g handles the additional load. I want all the small fish to settle in before adding the bigger fish. We shell see how it goes!

Carol,
Which tank was the 65? The one that was in the back by the seahorse tank?

what did you use for the sliders?

Hey Joey - you can rip off any of my ideas - LOL. They are pocket door rails and sliders. Here's the web site where I got the hardware and the Aluminum tracks:
Pocket Doors
I just moved my T5's to the top of the mounting bracket - they were just a little to close to the water. Now everything travels so smoothly, they are great.

Sure thing Mike - you are welcome at my house any time. Joe was over today - we just sat all day watching the fish. He pretended to have a broken hand - I think he's just sliding that cast on and off so I wouldn't make him work

I think that would be like me having (10) 250W - now that's got to be a hot little tank!

Hey Bryan, dandy7200 and Mike - thank you. Things are starting to come together but man do I still have a lot of work to do!
I must say, it sure is nice to have only one tank in the living room - Muuummm or two - ok three (280g, Sea Horse and Infinity) ! How did that happen

I'm going to try a slightly different approach with a drawer slide. I have a heavy duty one that travels 24"...hopefully that will be enough travel, if not...pocket sliding door tracks it is.
My main concern is with the clearance I have, my MH will be sitting about 3" from the water...I'm hoping that is enough.

Wow - three inches and I thought mine were close! I know Mike (MFLamb) is using them and I think he's happy.
Here's a few photo to show the tank with some corals. These are the corals that are out of my 65g - I still have the 75g corals and fish to add. Might be a Sunday or next weekend before that is finished.
Full tank shot - notice I removed the black background as I'm not sure I like it.
This is the left side of the tank. I love the little chromis, they've been hiding in the Nana which is very cool to watch.
This is the center area.
A little closeup of the center area.
Right side of tank.
All parameters are about the same, pH went a little low but I used some buffer and now it's staying around 8.2 during the day and 7.9 at night.
