FarmerTy Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I do get a little overzealous with the cutting sometimes. I'll learn! It was real hard to pull myself away from the tank last night and go to bed. The frag tank just looked so pretty.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Two things: 1) This is my view right now. 2) I just had an ephiphany! I remember reading that during the ich life cycle, it drops off the fish, typically at night, and then encysts into the tomont stage. After 3+ days, new ich theronts will release and find their next host. What makes ich so devious is that it literally falls off where the fish sleeps, and then when it multiplies and releases again, it'll release right where the fish is sleeping and reinfect the host again and again! My epiphany is the fact that I turn down my water flow at night. The stillness of the water is the ultimate environment for successful reinfection! The ich theronts don't have to fight flow and can lazily swim right to their next host when they release at night! In a perfect world, I should be ich free by March 3, that's 76 days of running the tank fallow. But just to cover my bases, I'm going to reprogram my flow to be just as active at night. That, combined with my oversized UV, should help a lot if ich finds its way back into my system. The flow issue makes more sense now as I think about the powder blue tang that lived in the sump for 3 months without showing any signs of ich at all. The sump had tons of good flow through it. Even if a theront managed its way into the sump to get to the powder blue, the water current in there was much too fast for it to latch on, even when the fish was more still and sleeping. Even if a tomont cyst happened to form in the sump by the sleeping powder blue, once all the ich theronts are released, the flow would just push them all away making it more difficult to attach to the host. Hmmmm.... Interesting... Just a theory of course but it does make you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Science! Its a good working hypothesis in my opinion I'll follow it up with some "engineering controls" to potentially alleviate the ease of reinfection via ich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super bright green! Yeah, it's a really bright colored one. I swear I find a new 3 or 4" piece every week that broke off and went crazy where it fell. For the life of me, I bleach all the red caps I put in the same tank though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That green cap was super low in my tank and the red one was higher up if I remember right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you were able to quote the mad scientist era which technically I think we're still in I can give you a pass sir Your gif is hilarious.
