Well I got my Ph straightened out with my Qt tank. Just hung a filter bag full of crushed coral infrotn of HOB filter and all is fine thanks. New problem arised this weekend,my display has ick,captured all my fish and used a slow drip acclimation for about 1 1/2 hours all seemed fine. Placed a green chromis in QT tank and he went crazy after about 5-10 minutes of this he ended up stuck to the powerhead(swimming upside down, in circles,spirals and jumping)
Initially I thought just exploring a new tank but this went on too long and too wild(something wrong with water?) Removed him to the display within 1/2 hour all was normal(other fish still in holding container) PArameters are SG1.023,PH8.2,Nitrates5ppm,Ammonia 0,nitrites 0, Copper .25mg/litres. Copper is the only additional different from the display(it Seachem cuppramine). I am thinking stray electrical current. How do I check for this? I have several meters(digital multi meter,portable scope and graphing digital mutli meter) I have ordered a grounding probe but probaly won't see this until end of the week. Would like to start treatment sooner.
