So what you people are saying is that you shouldn't have a yellow tang if you have less than a 70 gallon tank? We had our first tang for years and he was fine. We bought him when he was small so it may be an adaptation thing. Are there any other fish that need a lot of space that we should be...

oh yea, we were talking to the guy at the fish store who sold us the fish and some of the tangs that were in the same tank as ours are having the same problem. Is there a disease that they could have had that could cause the symptoms that ours had?

We had a yellow tang before for 6 years and never had one problem with it. He died last summer of age we think. We aren't really new at this stuff but we moved our tank to another house and have been having problems since. We never ever had any water problems like this until now. We moved to an...

oh yea, I forgot to mention that he only has half of his right fin and a little piece gone out of his tail fin as well :confused:

I finally managed to get a pic of my yellow tang. He is getting worse. His belly is starting to wrinkle and his color is changing in more spots. He is more active than he has been and he is eating fine. He spends more time swimming around now whereas he spent a lot of time behind the rocks...

We only have 3 damsels besides the tang. Also we have 6 hermit crabs. We have been very hesitant buying new fish because we lost a lot of expensive fish before Xmas. We've had the damsels about 2 months so decided to add some different fish. What is a refugium? I'm willing to try anything right...

Thanks alot Karajay, we will pick up some other food. This website has been very helpful because there is only one saltwater fish store here so we have limited information. I have seen that food at the store but thought it was strange to feed your fish veggies. We'll give it a try!!:)

Thanks for replying so fast. The Ph is 8.2 although we had to put some buffer in the tank 2 days ago because it was 8.0, but 8.2 now. Ammonia and nitrites are 0. Salinity is 1.022. Now the nitrates are even higher than before. The test tube is just bright red, so maybe one of the highest levels...

Hi there, WE bought a yellow tang about 4 days ago. When we got it, it was bright yellow. The past couple of days, it's head is starting to turn color. It looks like the yellow has just come off of it's head. We havea 60 gallon tank, nitrates are a little high but all other values are normal. We...

The nitrates are very high in our tank to the point where the test solution, when mixed with the tank water, ends up to be a very bright red. It has been like this for a while. Right now there are only 3 hermit crabs in the tank and about 60lbs of live rock. We had previously tried water changes...

sorry the attachment didn't show up on the last reply

Woke up this morning and the last 2 fish in our tank were dead on the bottom. Now what? Our snail and 3 hermit crabs are still alive. We have to start from scratch now but I guess we'll need advice on what to do to get rid of the ich if it will live without fish as their host. I've read a lot...

Thank you for replying, I'm sure we'll get all the advice we need from what I've read on this forum. YOu 2 are quite knowledgeable about salt water tanks. Sorry about the misunderstanding, I do not have a fish only tank. We have about 50-60lbs of live rock with crushed coral on the bottom of the...

My husband and I have a 60 Gallon tank (fish only). Recently we added a clown trigger and a heniochus butterfly to the tank. We bought the clown first and noticed when we got it home that he had ich. We fed it pellets that the guy at the fish store had given us and the ich had disappeared or so...
