I posted this in the primer thread as well but haven't gotten any responses..
I picked up my Achilles yesterday from a LFS that went and got him from living color in Miami. He looks good and is pecking at a little nori and ive seen him snag a few pieces of mysis so far. I'm going to pick up some bloodworms tonight along with some other colored algae sheets as he's not eating as aggressively as I would like.. but its been less than 24 hrs
How much flow should I provide for my AT? He's currently in 40g breeder QT with a RW-8 on else mode pointed towards the top for gas exchange along with an air pump in the tank. I have (2) RW-15's in the DT and could swap the RW-8 out for a RW-15 for him if needed.
He is being QT'd with a PBT, AT is a little bigger both are about 3" or so. There are also (2) small black ice clowns and a small yellow tang, probably 2" or so.
No signs of ich on the PBT or AT yet but all will eventually go through prazi and cupermine.
Are there any particular signs that I should look for that additional flow is wanted?
Another question would be.. What salinity would you recoomend for the AT? I typically would keep my QT around 1.022 and the DT at 1.026.. I read today a post that said the AT prefer higher sg.. like that of the DT (1.026) Thoughts?
