Fish riding the glass.....

[bigred]

I just got a Majestic Angel and he go to the end of the tank and goes back and forth on the glass and sometimes my Hippo Tang does it too. Is there something wrong?

How big is your tank?
How long have you had the fish?

It's a 180 and got the fish about 2 days ago. The hippo has been in there for about 5 months. He did it for awhile and stopped. Now he's doing it again. Could it be electrical?

New fish to a tank will commonly do this. Checking out the parameters of their new envionment, and, likely, a misunderstand of why there are "parameters" [glass].
You should add a ground probe to your system, especially if you are keeping tangs. This is definately a "must".
Do you have LR in the tank? What are your nitrate levels?

...a ground probe?
