Have used them for several "big ticket" items (chillers and such). They're awesome!

Also best pricing around for Koralias...when they get them.

At this point I'd just ride it out and wait. It may still need to be treated outside the display.

Lesson learned about quarantine?

Slow waaay down. You're in the fast lane for a major tank crash. Get a good book(s) and do more research before you load up.

Is a good use of the canisters. Tons of low/no light organisms will thrive on the rock and add to the bio-filtration. Also a great place to put any chemical media (carbon, etc...) you may use.

Opinons will vary, but many suggest 2-3 X per hour through the fuge. You may need an internal PH to keep the water turbulent for various types of macro algae.

Go for it. The 260 watts of 10k and NO actinics will work well. It will brighten up the tank considerably.

Please do not buy this fish. I assure you it will not fare well in the long term. Buying these "expert only" "impossible to keep" fish only encourages the collectors and LFSs to keep providing them.
