I can tell you that the tank doesn't have a lot of flow, and is lit with 6 39 watt T5 bulbs. I did not have luck when I placed some in the 600 which has a lot more flow & 400 watt MH lighting. I run the lights for 6 1/2 hours per day. Once a week I will add either phytoplankton or cyclopse to the tank. I keep the temperature in the tank around 78 degrees.

I'll try to shade mine a bit and keep them out of direct flow - they just always seem to look great and then 'melt' away after 3 mos or so. Mine are also under 6 39 watt T5's, but only in a 40 gal.

Sounds like you are doing every thing I have been. In the eight months that I have had the tank set up, I probably have had 6 - 10 melt away. I really have no idea of what might cause this.

Doesn't look like any issues here...............pretty snuggly looking.
The first two hours took a toll and I had to remove the fish and put it in another tank to heal up......

Not sure what updates, but the tang is improving. Seems to be eating well and swimming around in the tank.
