I have a quick question. My ammonia levels in my QT tank are .5 ppm and I did a 75% WC and it didn't do anything. Could I take some LR from my established 80gal and put in it the QT tank? I ask because I'm not home as often as I want and may have to skip a day of WC's.

Here is a video of him this morning. He was upset that the ammonia levels were not at 0.0 hahahahaa

Hello everyone. Quick little update with a little un-nerving question about a picture I have for you guys. Benji is doing well, I transferred him into the 80 gallon and took the butterfly (douglas) back to the LFS. He was shy for a little bit, just sitting at the top corner of the tank scoping things out. Then he sat on one of the more flat rocks that I have setup for him, and ate when I offered garlic/aminoacid soaked PW shrimp. Then I came home from dinner with my girl and there was a real weird mark on Benji, with a perfect circle in the middle. The circle in the middle is the light color of the rest of his body with the area around the circle being significantly darker. I don't think its a fungus of any kind but I'm no expect like you folks...

Almost looks like the end of the gravel syphon hickyed him or something, is it furry? Could he have burnt himself on the bottom of the heater? Is there anything in the tank that shape /diameter he could have hit himself on?
