Thank you, Omar! My wife & I are enjoying making these.

U both absolutely killed it..I really like how informative and no nonsense these videos are..your wife reading was so amazing and clear. Thank you both!

You can use buckets to do TTM, but the fish are more difficult to see. To look for white dots or growths, red sores, etc. on their body.

Unfortunately, no. This explains how to quarantine corals + inverts: humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/coral-invert-quarantine-time-frames.487/

Hello - “Hybrid” TTM is my favorite QT method. I personally prefer to keep it simple by using an airstone, PVC elbow, heater/thermometer as shown in the video. To make everything easier to clean/sterilize. However, some prefer to use more elaborate filtration or a powerhead for additional flow. Which is fine as well, provided everything gets sterilized before next usage.

There have been a couple of instances of flukes slipping thru Hybrid TTM. So, it doesn't appear that the method is 100% effective against flukes. What you can do is dose Prazipro 2x, 6 days apart, on alternating transfers (when no H2O2 bath is scheduled) to deworm your fish.

Yes, you can use the same air pump; but I would use different airline tubing + air stones for each transfer tank.

@@HumblefishReef Thank you for replying.

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to this. I am unfamiliar with the lifecycle of freshwater Ich and other parasites.

You can, provided you sterilize the filters before reusing. Some filters with lots of nooks & crannies need to be sterilized with bleach.

It can be done while a fish is in hyposalinity (as a redundancy for Ich + flukes). However, it would be best to have the salinity of your first transfer tank match the bag water of the fish, and slowly raise SG throughout TTM until it matches your DT.

I would probably get an eDNA test done to screen for any pathogens: humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/introducing-the-tankdna-test.6860/

A few minutes late is probably ok, but as a general rule the 72 hour transfer is a hard point you have to hit. The three main "rules" for TTM are as follows: 1. Transfers need to occur every 72 hours OR less, NOT more 2. The total number of days to pass should be 12 OR more, NOT less 3. A minimum of four transfers is required, with more required if doing transfers more frequent than every 72 hours

Also just to be 100 clear when doing hybrid with velvet do you need to do more transfers ?

You can dose Prime or another ammonia reducer every 24 hours to alleviate ammonia concerns. HTTM involves transferring the fish every 72 hours. The only difference is you need to do 2 peroxide baths - spaced 6 days apart - to eliminate Velvet.

@@HumblefishReef thanks so much for speedy response.

@@HumblefishReef sorry one more question! If fish are showing slight symptoms of parasite can I do a peroxide bath before they go in for Day 1 in qt ? And then follow the schedule appropriately moving forward still doing two more baths ? Or would this be too stressful on the fish doing 3x baths

@@rosesarereddd5769 Yes, 3 or more baths are fairly well tolerated. 👍

Is the puffer small? If so, then yes; but monitor ammonia very, very closely in that volume in water. In fact, it might be a good idea to dose Prime or Amquel every 24 hours for good measure.

He's very small. Maybe 1.5 So I'm a little confused, it says transfer every 36 hours until day 10. But it also says to do more than one transfer within the 36 hours? Is that just initially? Like Day 1, fish in, Next day transfer THEN wait 36 hours?

@@DesertRider760 Which version of TTM are you wanting to do? For “Velvet TTM” follow this transfer schedule: humble.fish/ttm-for-velvet/

@@HumblefishReef I'm doing the Velvet method. I'm just a little confused where it says "Day 1 fish in tank" (assuming QT) Then Day 2 transfer at the 36 hour mark. So I put the puffer in at 6PM tonight. Do I transfer the fish tomorrow then set my timer for 36 hours? Or Fish in and start the timer right away? Only wondering because it mentions doing more than one transfer within the 36 hour mark and the timeline is giving me a little hick up. Technically, if I put the fish in and waiting the 36 hours it would be day 3. Just trying to see where the more than one transfer comes into play

@@DesertRider760 As soon as the fish enters the first TRANSFER TANK, the 36 hour timer begins. You will then transfer the fish every 36 hours a total of FOUR times. The final two transfers occur every 71 hours. So, you transfer the fish a total of 7 times: Initial transfer, four transfers at 36 hours, and two transfers at 71 hours. Hopefully that makes more sense.

hi, i think you can FO/FOWLR saltwater tank

@@modernfarmer7501 Hi! After 2 years I am finally setting up my tank! I just finished the scape and I'm actually filling up the tank today! It is a 5 foot long 150 gallon mixed reef tank. And for the quarantine tank, I plan on just qting the fish and not the corals or inverts since the shop that I'm gonna get everything from already quarantines the fish.
