Clownfish Quarantine
Picked up two Ocellaris Clownfish today from a local fish store and started them in QT process. They seem to be doing well so far despite a noob acclimation. My qt tank was set to 1.025 salinity which is exactly what the lfs told me their tank was set to. Once I opened the bag and tested the water, it read 1.028-29 on my refractometer... They are now currently sitting in qt at about 1.027-28 (I quickly adjusted my QT because it is better for a slow salinity adjustment rather than a fast one. Ill keep them in quarantine over the next month, while testing for ammonia/ph levels, and lowering salinity down to 1.025 through water changes. The corals are not real, just a background pic my girlfriend insisted on. Rest assured I do NOT have one of these on my display tank. LOL.
