I love Sushi.
Aragonite takes a lot of washing. I would say 3-4 soakings and rinsings. I know that when I am adding aragonite to my reactor, There is always some left over residue. You will not be able to get it completely clean it one weekend.
I would get those fish in QT and then start dumping small amounts of sand in. Just do a wc after you are done. Your corals will be fine, besides, your skimmer kicks butt and will help remove the extras

Yeah, thats the plan.
Rafael is gonna come by this morning and help me get them into the QT. But I only have enough water to make up for the water I'm pulling out for the QT. I think I'll do the water change, then make more water and keep rinsing. I may not even start to add it until Monday or Tuesday.

Okay, yesterday was pretty busy :lol:
Thanks for coming by Raf!!! I couldn't have done it w/out your help bro!!!!!
So, we got the 3 tangs out (maculiceps, dussumier and purple) out and into a QT. I dipped them each in copper for about 10-15 min before adding them to the tank. Inside of the tank I am treating the fungus with kanaplex. The max treatment is 3 doses, and I'm only to dose every other day. So the tangs will be in there for the next 6 days. I have my fingers crossed.....
I also did a small water change and added some sand. I chose to go with a special caribsea mixture I found up at a LFS. I haven't seen it anywhere else in town, so I was pretty stoked, because it is exactly what I was looking for.
The mixture includes sizes from 1mm-5mm and there are some shells and such mixed in. I really wanted something heavy so that my Tunze wouldn't blow it all over. I also mixed it with some #1 aragonite to help fill in between the cracks.
And the QT
Its about as make shift as you can get, but as long as works, I don't care how it looks :lol:

I like the look of sand much better. That has never been a question for me.
The attractive part of going BB was the ease of use. Thats the only thing I favored. I got tired of constantly stirring my old sand bed, so I took it out.
So far, I like it. But I'm not going to like keeping it clean.

I hope so. My chiller hasn't been on much the past 2 weeks. Tanks usually stable at 79 until the lights come on. There's no lights on the qt, so we'll see what happens

I've been running my 20g QT at 81, and the heater is on more often than not. No lights either.
