With what water??? Good job though!!!

 

[coachklm]

i asked him for a couple bags of his tank water. simple siphon and about 10% water change per gallon baggie every -2hrs

since i knew he fed his fish...they pollute the water fairly quickly when not "starved" before shipment

no acclimation is key after long trip the yellow tang was put in quarntine for 8hrs the mated pair were drip and temp acclimated for 2hrs. everything else was also 2 hrs. as they were ready to get out of the bags.

plus i didnt want the tang to become aggresive by adding him early.
