Yes sir it will. It will heal a lot faster in nice and clean water. If you haven't changed any water in a while it might not hurt to do a water change to help it heal up quicker.

Don't overfeed tank and remove any uneaten food. It can take a few days for any fish to start eating and Hippo's are really jittery fish as i'm sure you already know. Don't get to worried until it's around day 5 of not eating. My 6 inch Hippo wouldn't eat for over a week after I bought him. I...

Goodwin, I stopped going to all saltwater message boards online except for this thread. Thanks for keeping this thread updated for so long!

Goodwin, You really seem to take care of your fish and tank. The fish look fat, happy and healthy. That is more then I can say for a big majority of people i've seen in this hobby. I think there's a lot worse things going on in this hobby then Goodwin's fish amount in a 800 gallon (tank plus...

Awesome as usual Goodwin. Can I ask a question? What are the Mangroves for? Refugium?

Yes, Yellow Tangs have a white line on their sides that appears when a change of light occures or when the fish is stressed. Totally normal.

I moved my tank twice in the last 3 months. I moved my 75G across town and then recently i moved everything from my old 75G to a new 125G. Buy a lot of 5 gallon buckets. Save as much water as you can. I put my fish and corals in 5 gallon buckets. I put my sand in 5 gallon buckets. Don't clean...

Do you have a time out tank to place the PBT? When my Yellow Tang gets nasty he goes in my 30 gallon sump for 3 days. When he comes back he's the new fish again and not so aggressive. Fish are a lot like people. The PBT feels threatened with all the new comers and to make himself feel powerful...

I dont wanna sound like the tang police but don't you know you need a ocean for keeping tangs?<----Sarcasm

Phoenix, Arizona area only. I have a free Yellow Tang in good health. I had him over a year. He's pretty much bulletproof as far as health, perfect for that just cycled tank. He just has one issue I just can't take any longer. He's very aggressive in my 125 gallon tank. Every hiding space in the...

Doesn't even look like the same Yellow Tang! He looks 100% back to health, awesome.

Putting him with established tankmates now would stress him and kill him in his poor condition. HLLE is not contagious but he could have other problems that could be. You don't want to spread anyhing to your healthy fish. Do hyposalinity on him for a month in a QT tank. I would feed him Zoecon...

I know when the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago opened in the 1930's they had semi trucks bring ocean water from the coast. They could probably do that again if they run out of water in Atlanta.

Murph145 tank has a anenome and that's probably the best reef tank i've seen, but I think most people would advice against it.

My Pink Tail lives with two cleaner shrimps. When he first went into the DT my cleaners gave him a good scrubbing with no problems.

Yes I have one and they are reef safe. They're very busy swimmers and are ferocious eaters. They don't eat other live fish or corals, but any food you feed the tank they'll dive bomb in eating as much as possible. If anyone has slow feeding fish that hang back at feeding time and wait for the...

Wow! Global Warming is going to kill us all! Right after Bird Flu kills us all! Right after Mad Cow Disease kills us all! Right after the Y2K computer bug kills us all! Right after the Cold War kills us all! Wait a second................. Do I believe Global Warming is a problem, probably? Do...

Very interesting, you would think the RO unit would filter the copper out. How often do you change your RO units filters? You must go through a lot of RO water with that many tanks. You must be changing filters once a month? I would be willing to bet that your 470 also has high copper readings...

Do you think your copper plumbing is the reason your copper is High?

Hows all the fishies doing FishGal? Everything still going swimmingly?
