confirm my TTM schedule is correct please...

I am doing the TTM on my Powder Brown just want a confirmation that everything is right. Tonight 10 pm to be exact will be exactly 3 days. So I am going to get the other tank ready to transfer tonight when I get home and transfer him in the morning around 730 am 03/03/2015.
Plan moving forward....

* Clean the tank he is in now and equipment and let air dry.
* transfer #2 should occur the morning of 03/06
* transfer #3 should occur the morning of 03/09
* transfer #4 should occur the morning of 03/12

will take couple of days to observe.

he is doing well I am feeding light and he is always starving..lol Dosing Prime to help.

Anything different you would do or anything wrong with this? Thanks for looking...

maybe i am reading your math incorrectly, but if tonight is already 3 days (72 hours), won't 7:30am tomorrow make the first transfer be 81.5 hours?

No your not off, steve (snorvich) said to better to transfer in the morning time, I pulled him out immediately that night when I saw the ich on him so it so happened to be late that night, so I did not think that the 8 hours or so longer to make it to the morning would be that big a deal?

Am I wrong in this thinking?

^ i count the time into tank/tub one as one full day regardless if 7 am or 1159 pm.

If u stick to ur schedule, transfer tonight before 10 pm

The critical elements of TTM are:

+ No cycle greater than 72 hours; less is fine, more is not
+ Total of all cycles is 12 days
+ Receiving tank must be totally dry before starting the next cycle

While morning is slightly better, it is not critical. The elements above are critical.

Y'know, I'd ask snorvich. He really knows his p's and q's on that method.

I am on the same schedule as you, OP. I bought new fish on Friday and into tub #1 they went, at 7pm. I took that day as one whole day, and I transferred them this am at 715 am (I could have done it tonight before 7, but Work won't allow me to be home in time). As you can see, I am a few hours ahead of your transfer. So my next transfer will be this upcoming Thursday am.

If I were you, I would go no later than 10 pm tonight.

Steves the pro, and this method is bulletproof if you follow it correctly. this happens to be my third batch of fish and all before are doing great, and ich free!
