Nice vids man! That tang is really cool! I watched the videos last night and didn't get a chance to reply. Slowly but surely you are getting all stocked up!

Thanks Kris,

All the activity is pretty cool to watch...especially around feeding time.

...bummed out to find the tangs dead this morning.

I did a large water change and dosed malachite green/formalyn. The pair of diamond gobies are fine though. I did turn off the skimmer during the treatment. I suspect the tangs were more sensitive than the gobies to the medicine. I'm also wondering if there was a drop in orp ?

Wow! Sorry to hear dude. If you are concerned or curious as to what happened here maybe you can throw it out to Lee and see what he comes up with. Such a bummer...

Damn Jim, I'm bummed for you also. IME Tangs seem to be quite tollerant of those meds so curious as to what Lee would have to say as well. While in Hawaii collecting we pretty much put all fish in a 24 hour Formalin bath before going into holding tanks with Cupramine. No losses and or negative reactions that I noticed while there. I just lost my Kole of 2 years to a Ich outbreak and ratyher irritated with self for not doing a hypo treatment on all existing fish before tranferring into new system.
Hopefully you will get it figured out soon. Check out Les with 'Wet Pets Hawaii' if you haven't already when ready for replacement of both Tangs.

Cheers, Todd

jim,

wheew..glad to see these tangs aren't the ones that died....now you need a pair or 3 of flame angels to get a dash of RED in there.
looks good.

 

[gimmito]

I like the way you think ! I was thinking either those or 3 potters angels.
