Meowzer - I started the tank on 8/3, I had it cycling for about 3 weeks and then added some green chromis. Then I started getting all this algae, my LR and LS were brown... So I posted it and got some feedback on what to do. I purchased a CUC and about a week later purchased 3 Mexican turbo snails... Tank is clean, although I do get some algae on the glass, I clean off the front and sides but leave the back for the snails.
I will definitely get some algae sheets for the tang. Thanks.
Scrapman, thanks for the input. I've heard of the garlic and will have to get some of that too... Tangs are awesome.
Hi,
You got all good input from Meowzer and Scrapman, just wondering...how large is your tank? Yellow tangs need a 6 foot tank as a rule, and if not then make sure they can swim all the way around the tank by having the live rock only in the center...that way they can swim and swim without feeling hemmed in. They get mean and fight the other fish for territory, and "pace" if they are feeling cramped in a tank that's too small for them. Which leads to stress, and they often get sick with HLLE
