Love these videos! Found your mixing station series and it’s been super helpful! Two comments: 1) Your camera shake can make these hard to watch. Warp Stabilizer in Premiere is your friend! 2) To make these feel more professional, you should disclose any sponsorship. “I just want to give a shout-out to Waterbox for making these videos possible” (or whatever). You *must* disclose any paid promotion or risk a fine from the FTC and a TH-cam strike. Just a heads up! Keep it up, these are so helpful for the community! 👊
Best qt video ever! Do you have to treat or dont some people just observe and then treat? I guess observing then treating could take a lot longer! also what about adding fritz turbo start, i heard that cycle with fish in 5 days with no ammonia spikes or is that only if you have live rock sand ect?
I saw that you are skipping qt on your corals. Are you concerned about the potential diseases or cysts form that will come from corals (mostly stony corals)? I believe Humblefish has mentioned this on some reefing forums. With that said, wouldn't you be risking all your effort? Ofc I understand qt will not eliminate 100% of everything, but still, I'd like to hear your insight on this.
Great video! Thanks for the info, what do you find the best way to reduce your copper level following the 30 days? Just water changes? Or any products? Carbon?
Hey bro love your videos by the way and your new aquarium looks amazing, what do you use for external flukes and gill flukes? Do you use General Cure dosed directly into the QT water because I only see you using General Cure for internal parasites.
If I build a quarantine fish tank, what should I do with the tank after each quarantine? Since there is mature filter material in the fish tank, can I just change 100% of the water to remove the residual drugs in the water? Thank you
I have a question. You said when topping up with freshwater you needed to add copper? So does that mean the copper leaves the tank when freshwater evaporates?
Excellent video as always ;is there a calculator for cupramine ?I always struggle with knowing how much to add ‘here is Australia we can’t get copper power 😩
Are you saying if i just put general cure directly to the tank it wont kill the internal parasites? Medicating the food is out of the option if your fish dont eat. So how do you kill an internal parasite for fish that dont eat? Please advice
I have no idea why he said that. You can absolutely treat an internal parasite by putting in the water. In fact you see they'll start shitting out that white stringy stuff as soon as you use it.
Go to humble.fish to learn how to qt fish. All this guy is is a commercial to whomever gives him free stuff. Antonio, is the shirt in the contract details you signed with Waterbox? He’s not a hobbyist, he’s a commercial. Worst of all, he hides all these details. It should clearly state on all these videos SPONSORED. It’s not genuine.
Very thorough QT process. Can't say I've ever went this far in depth. You gave me a few things to think about. Appreciate the info.
No worries man 🤙🏼

have you tried using a freshwater dip?

Hey bud, just a general cure question. Doesn’t humblefish say to dose once and wait 7 days and dose again and not follow the 48 hours on the box.
Copper power will not precipitate out of the water as quickly as seachem cuprimine. I think that’s what you were getting at around the 1:24 mark.

if there could be a loss in nitrifying bacteria then maybe add more supplemental nitrobakter, doc tim’s eco-balance etc
It’s not even worth it if you have copper in the tank. Just watch the ammonia and make sure it doesn’t spike
I was watching a video from Tidal Garden and they don’t use copper for quarantine they use Formaldehyde
I came to make the same comment! Here’s the video: th-cam.com/video/H9M9jTiI4zY/w-d-xo.html
You need to mark it QT on main body of salinity hanna checker
Dude my Shrimp lived through 6 days copper!
I have a question. You said when topping up with freshwater you needed to add copper? So does that mean the copper leaves the tank when freshwater evaporates?
Can the medicated food be frozen?
Excellent video as always ;is there a calculator for cupramine ?I always struggle with knowing how much to add ‘here is Australia we can’t get copper power 😩
Don’t think there is one. Honestly haven’t researched to know.
Oodinium is velvet
reef safe ????
umm, your link for hanna colrimieter is for an iron checker and is different model name number than what humblefish suggest
Yeah don’t buy that one. That’s definitely wrong
Do you do hypo salinity for copper sensitive fish?
Are you saying if i just put general cure directly to the tank it wont kill the internal parasites? Medicating the food is out of the option if your fish dont eat. So how do you kill an internal parasite for fish that dont eat? Please advice
Garlic guard from seachem

Does copper evaporate? Not sure how topping off would dilute copper level..
Copper power says it’s not supposed to precipitate but I’m double checking mine to make sure
Great info
And look at all the confusion about copper you’ve created in the comments. People, he’s a commercial. Watch Reefdudes long video with humble fish.
Nice video and first one
50$ for that Copper tester no thnx
I’d rather pay 50 for a precise copper tester than lose hundreds in fish 🤷🏽♂️

After you do General Cure do you put the carbon filter back in as directed? Will it absorb the copper?
