We have a new promotional video courtesy of our dear friends and clients the Lopez’s (who I don’t think are on here). I couldn’t be more excited for things to come.
Things are filling in nicely…

Cryptocaryon outbreak in QT
I hate to even post this I would have much rather post about my MRC filter room update or Kylers reef tank update but alas here we are. I don’t know how many other shops have this level of discussion about illness but it needs to be talked about because it happens to everyone. I waited until we had a full grasp of the situation before writing this.
Currently our QT system has Cryptocaryn irritans and they look to be in theront stage by the video I took of Frank’s slide and referencing literature like the infographic graciously posted with a wonderful blog by @marinedepot (credit where credit is due). Unfortunately, this comes with the territory. Fish get sick. We're experienced enough to have a microscope and the skill to use it to aid in diagnosing a problem. Also sadly those clients waiting on fish will have to wait a bit longer as we’re now holding everything.
So far we’ve scraped half of the fish in the other holding system and are not seeing any of these parasites. We’re going to give it another 2 weeks of testing before we clear them to move along as they’ve already been onsite 3-4 weeks on the low end.
We don’t like to treat fish with heavy medication for no reason. We believe battering them with medications upon their arrival damages their organs and tissue more then a wait and see approach. We pull scrapings and treat for the illness present, not broad spectrum for what could otherwise be a healthy specimen. You’re not sick every time you see the doctor and you wouldn’t take medication for an illness you don’t have.
