I have had many tanks over the years but they have mostly been on the smaller side. Most were small reef tanks and a 75gal. I am currently setting up a 130g for my parents but have had a bit of bad luck.
The starter fish (blue damsels) all got ick within the first week. Everything in the tank proceeded to die the next week. The tank is being set up in Hawaii and being that it is summer the tank is getting up to 85degrees!!!!!! Soo a chiller is the next step. Should I wait to get the chiller before attempting to start the tank again? Any tips? About how many starter fish do I need to get this size of a tank ready? About how long for the set up (2 months)?
