As far as the ich is concerned, I think I might luck out. The one spot on the YT, as seen on his left pectoral fin below, went away 3 days ago and there are no signs of any new spots.
I'll monitor him closely over the next 6 weeks and keep my fingers crossed that I don't notice any new parasites on him. Besides, I'm treating my clowns for brook in the QT tank, so they won't be moved over for at least 6 weeks anyway.
Mold cleanup is progressing well. As I think I mentioned, the center of the infestation is the crawl space below the pantry. I sealed all the vents to the outside and installed a permanent dehumidifier and condensate drain pump. Humidity has dropped from 85% to 45% and the A/C ducts no longer drip with condensate and everything else has dried up nicely. My wife was complaining about not feeling well and through whatever it was, came from the crawl space. Turns out she was right. Yes, we used the mold test kits from HD. I also had a pro come in and asses the situation, and I definitely have mold in that crawl space.
I'll look into a UV light for the furnace for sure. The only filter on my system is a 24"x24"x1" at the return in the hallway. There is no separate filter at the furnace itself even though the installation instruction show one. Not sure what's up with that since this is a rather large system with a 4.5 ton A/C unit.
The wife want to fog the entire house once the cleanup has been completed. I'm a bit hesitant given the reef. If we do fog, I'll cover all the tanks with plastic and also block the vent into the fish room and shut off the exhaust fan in there. Hopefully that will prevent any of the fogging chemicals from reaching the water.
In other news, coraline algae began growing on all the lockline returns sometime last week.
And a full tank shot which is still screaming for fish and more corals, but I unfortunately need to deal with the mold issue first.
The Yellow Zoo Polyps are really doing well:
As is the Green Pocillipora:
The other corals are also doing well also, but I don't have any shots of them.
I moved the Gorilla Crab to the sump (not the fuge with the live rock rubble and snails). Right now he's the sole inhabitant in that 150g of water. Hopefully he'll find enough to eat there as there is a tiny bit of detritus there, but not much. The banded coral shrimp molted again. At the rate he's going, he'll be a big boy soon.
