Goodbye Big Mac

[hattrick58]

Lost our Purple Tang (" Big Mac") Monday . When I came home I immediately knew something was amiss. He was always in sight, had no fear at all. Checked my parameters and everything was okay. So I am keeping a close eye on the others. So far they are fine, showing no signs of illness or stress. Goodbye Big Mac. You will be missed.

sorry to hear that bad news... i know how that goes... some fish are sooooo unique... that's the whole reason i got into salt water, because the fish had sooo much personality... sorry to hear about the loss...

I'm sorry about Big Mac. Some advice: check if you did something wrong and make sure all your other fish don't have that problem

Was he sick? Have spots or show any signs of illness? How long had you had him? I'm sorry you lost your fish.

Only had him about 6 months. I noticed he didn't seem to be grazing as much as he usually did over the weekend. No white spots or anything obvious. He was a really cool fish. I plan on replacing him but I'm gonna wait a couple weeks to see how the others do. I just checked my water again: `monia, `trites, `trates all 0; Alk - 5 meq/ltr; Ca - 400 mg/ltr; pH - 8.2; SG - 1.023; Temp - 80 d. I know the `trates are questionable @ 0 but that'a what both the Seachem and Fastest kits are reading.
