Well actually, they should be able to from one end of the tank. Maybe thats why they keep hanging out on that side!

Cheers, Todd

Great looking tank Lorrie.

 

[user 26995]

Thanks everyone.

I have more rock too, but its not cured. I'll rinse it good and then add it a little bit at a time.
Now I have to start arranging and gluing down the coral.

Yeah, I dont know about that. I have to show some real patience now. My blue hippo tang and the carribean blue is both showing signs of ick. I dropped the salinity down to 1.018 this morning, will drop it a little more tomorrow.

 

[pandora32]

Oh no. Think theyre stressing in their temp home?

 

[user 26995]

Well probably a little, but the blue hippo has been showing signs for maybe 6 months. About every 3 weeks or so a dozen parasites would show up and then be gone in a few days. Its never been more than a donzen or so and no one else was showing signs. I still cant really tell if the carribean has them or not. He doesnt have the same looking spots as the hippo. The hippo you can see they are actually parasites and the carribean has really really tiny spots. It might not be ick at all. It could be just the coloring of the carribean and the hippo could be getting some other parasite.
They are like a 16th of an inch long at most, and attached by one end almost burrowing into the skin. He doesnt flash on anything. He acts normal. They all eat great. I'll see if I can get pics of them next time he has them. I am dropping the salinity more today so hopefully they dont come back.

 

[pandora32]

Well at least they have a good home to be in.

Yeah, planning on it.

 

[TJL]

Well on the bright side Lorrie, all the corals will have a better chance to settle in before being knocked over by the Tangs. Or is it just my Rowdy Tangs that do this ???

Cheers, Todd

LOL Todd,
Your chances of corals getting knocked around would diminish drastically if you didnt have 20 Tangs in your tank. LOL


Lorie,
Sorry to hear your tangs have been stressed. You know what you have to do now.

 

[user 26995]

Yeah, treat and be patient. 8 loooooonnnnnng weeks!!!!
