    I was off on the height, its actually 30" tall not 36 I was including the canopy 1st time by mistake. everything else correct. I will research and setup the QT Tank.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Algae is a problem. red algae, green algae, and what looks like green "hair " algae attached to some fake plants I have in the tank. How many Chromis needed for them to School ? I bought 5 shortly after I bought my setup but they never really schooled. (Lost them to a...

    Thanks Aquaknight and Smartori. I came home from Work today to discover the Pilot dead in the tank :-( I have learned a valuable lesson about doing homework PRIOR to purchase. I did not go the LFS to get this fish, but just loved the way it looked in the tank in the store. No one in the store...

    Thanks Smartori. Great tips and Ive never heard the blend your own food before but it makes perfect sense. I have a Blue Tang who Im sure will love it because it ate the Krill and frozen shrimp I put in tank for the Pilot. This morning I discovered why base of the side fins had turned red on the...

    Thank you all help is appreciated. I read what you posted online as well after I bought the fish. Next time I wont buy on impulse and will shop with a list instead of just seeing a beautiful fish in the store and trusting that store management will give me all the info I need. However, this...

    I replaced my avatar with a phone pic of the Pilot in my tank. If you notice the redness on the fin that wasnt there earlier as well, not sure if thats a sign of poor health or just something natural to this species. This pilot also develops a "Yellow" hue at times that comes and goes.

Store employees said Pilot "eats everything so I fed Saltwater Pellets that other fish in tank eat well. Pilot does eat...
