    Tangs are Impossible!1

    IMHO, I just hate tangs. They are cool and look really nice, but they are expensive and almost always die. Sure you might find a couple that live for more than 3 months in your expericnces with this hobby, but that's about it. Just recently I bought 3 yellow tangs. One after the other one dies...

    Help...lfs are contradicting each other!!

    Not to worry i had brown algae and it went awaynow there is good green algae in the tank. ur #2 LFS is more that likely wrong. IMOHO i would stick with lfs #1.

    Ich infested tank!!!!

    IMOHO ICK doesn't swim or anything. It's a diasease kinda like you dont see the flu floating in midair. You are probably looking at tiny little air bubbles. They kinda take a while to get to the top. BTW I usally use Saltwater CopperSafe. Thats my 2 cents. Josh :eek:
