    Spot ID

    Well I was unable to get pics of the Tang. I lowered my salinity to 1.019 - .018 raised the temp to 82 - 83 and after a few days of feeding the fish garlic soaked food the Tang is looking a lot better and may be cured. I will give it a few more days and revert back to 80 temp and . 023 salt.
