Well. I only have a Queen Angel. That was the second fish that I bought. The first fish was a Damsel, but I killed him with too much salt (hydrometer). My Queen Angel is doing great. I acclaimed her in about 1.5 hours and she is living for 2 months now. Since then I started doing more...

Quote: What is your system like, as far as tank size, filtration, etc.? Yes, I'm a beginner. My system is nothing great. My DT is 60G and my QT is 15g or 10g. No sump or refugium. Filter: Fluval 405. My fish are OK once they pass the acclamation and I only have 1 fish that is in the QT as of...

Quote: you know what the S.G. of the water he came from? I always shoot low on my QT tanks at about 1.019 (because that's the lowest I've measured in shipping water). If your bag water was low, they probably didn't enjoy the 1.024. The tang looks shocky. I failed to test the salinity in the bag...

Quote: mix your new saltwater for 24 hours before use I did this for my QT tanks, but not for regular water changes. Will change that now. I do have a refractormeter. Yes my hydrometer is very inaccurate, but only relatively speaking. Specific gravity of 1.022 on my hydrometer equals 1.024 on...

^ Makes sense.

I'm new to this hobby, and I'm having tons of problems, which I believe are due to my water being poisoned. Long story short: In the beginning I did not have a RODI system, so I used tab water with Amquel Plus. I bought a Queen Angel and set her up using that very water. The fish is still alive...

How long did it take you to cure him?
