    Soya, Looks like poor shipping if oyu ask me, I have had trouble with yellow derasas in the past, same thing, thought it was pinched mantle, but Im sure now it was poor shipping. Sorry for your loss.

    emperor angel

    I have a friend that has one in his 225, it nibbles a bit here and there on stuff but nothing that endangers the life of the corals. The angel is about 4" Just FYI, but he does nip just not much, I think you will experience mixed results depending on attitude. Good luck

    formalin dip

    Nasty stuff if you ask me, only time I treated it kicked the fish for me, even doing all the above. Use caution.

    Tangs

    I wouldn't put a tang in a 55, only because as it grows it will become very unhappy and how do you know you will have the funds for the fish to get a new home later? As far as growth its really up to the conditions of the environment and the feeding. I have seen Tiny (1/2") blue tangs get 5" in...

    Tangs

    ALso, just a small note on Ick. If they start to develope it (for those that don't know) they will thrash about on the rocks, prior to other symptoms. tying to itch the area that is bothering them. Its a very obvious sign, and very common in newly delivered fish at your LFS.

    Tangs

    I QT, but you will find with Blues they just develope ick now and then, When I didn't have a refractometer, I used a hydrometer, it said my water was at 1.025 sal (I keep mosly SPS) but it was at 1.030. I found that with the higher salinity he developed Ick (or a variation) much more often...

    Tangs

    If I was to point out the aggressive tang it would be the yellow, he was aggressive to the butterfly the first couple days, but he was same color (basically). To answer... no there is no aggression in the tank now without the butterfly. If you want a tang my only advice (to keep it simple) is...

    Help, How Can I Prevent Mold

    A friend of mine did it on his 350 and it worked very good. He was fortunate enough to have the tank on a outside wall, so you just ran straight out the side.

    Tangs

    155 gallon 6' long bowfront. They do great, the naso is the gutsy one, he will try food first then the others will join in, he is also the newest fish (about 3 months in tank) all 3 are medium size now. The rocks are setup for them to have lots of caves to swim in and out of. They all seem to...

    Help, How Can I Prevent Mold

    Another good point if you have access venting the hood outside is great but usually more effective fro larger systems. As backup alot of fish stores use dehumidifiers.

    Tangs

    You should be ok, its best to introduce at same time, but I have had good luck adding yellow tang first, blue tang second, and a naso last. They all get along and school together. Its on of those things that I think just depends on the nature of the fish and how he is to others. It could be good...
