TTM and thank you

[crabbydan]

Just want to thank all the contributors to these forums. Seems I am always coming back seeking answers or searching for information.
I'm on day two of my TTM / QT process for what I think is my last addition to my 105 DT. He is a tiny 1 inch tomini. Did I spell that right?

Can't wait to introduce him to his new home.

Nice! What are you using as a QT? Do you just use water from your DT?

For TTM no DT water. New water every 3 days (72 hours max)

I use freshly made saltwater from my rodi in the garage. I have done this for every fish since I had an ich incident about 3 years ago. I have only lost one fish in a TTM process and it was my fault as I added prazipro and miscalculated the gallons in my qt. My qt/ttm is three plastic containers and on the 14th day (Yes i do 2 extra days) i move to a glass observation tank which has a bubble filter that comes from my sump and is thrown away and replace with a new sponge the next time i think about buying an addition. Side note, not only is the plastic containers cheap but I find the fish are less frightened by the clear glass or reflection of themselves in a glass set up. Also my TTM bins are supplied with a set of 6 PVC Tee's that i rotate through, three seperate cheap tiny heaters (took me forever to get them set to the same temp) and a set of airstones and an air pump. was at a local fish store that has a lot of resale stuff and picked up a box of 20 wood red sea airstones for 2 dollars.

I'm glad it's working out for you. When things are done right and not rushed in this hobby is can be a world of difference.
