Lucky you!! You will be looking at a 6' tank to keep the PB permanently. Gorgeous fish though. I wish they didn't grow so big...or were such Ich magnets!! :lol:

7-8" (8.3" the record apparently) isnt that big, its one of the smaller tangs. However I know its gonna need a larger swimming area as it grows. All tangs are prone to ich as far as I know. I'm hoping with a varied diet with lots of vitamins and greens, plus the cleaner shrimp I can keep that down to a min. If I have to I'll get a uv sterilizer. But as I said, so far so good, not even a speck.

Anyhow, it's eating nori now, and trimming down all the various types of algea in my tank. Seems to like everything I put in the tank flake, pellets, nori, and various food foe carnivores that I feed the other fishies and corals.

Hmm, well when I got home from work last week my blenny and dottyback were MIA. No idea what happened to them. Also my female black and white clown has what appears to be velvet, but only on the face and eyes. Have placed her in a hospital tank as her eyes are bad enough she is having trouble finding food. Will be treating copper begining tomorrow. Purple will be playing fish doc. while I'm away at work. Hopefully things are looking better when I get home again.

Just a pic update as requested.

Notice the monti mounted on the tank wall in upper left of tank. And PB tang in lower left.

Tank is looking good. How is the fish in Quarantine doing?

about the same so far. Shes not too happy being without her nem.

Just an update.

The female black clown didnt make it. Also been having some problems with vanishing fish. No bodies found and fish appear fine the day before they are discovered "gone". So far In the last 5 months I have lost:

1 orchid dotty
1 tail spot blenny
1 small powder brown tang

No carpet surfers, bones on any other signs found.

Other than that and diatoms on the sand bed things are going well. Added a yellow tang last week and it seems happy. Getting good coral growth all around.
One of my RBTA split and Im working on getting one of the clones to move to another rock so I can sell/trade it.

Gonna add two more power heads and a sand goby to knock down the diatoms. Thinking of going with 2 korelia 2s placed mid tank level pointing down at a 45 degree angle.

Just got back from a week holiday to find all my sps dead, (some I just recived from whatcaneyedo less than a month ago.) lps bleached or dead. sixline wrasse dead, banded goby dead, sleeper goby dead. Anenomes bleached to a light pink.

Tank temp was at 98f. skimmer wasnt workin (pump stopped) Only things that seem ok are the zoas and my crocea (go fuiger)

Yellow tang and 2 clowns seem unaffected as well.

Tank sitter never bothered to phone or anything.

Will be doing two successive 30% water changes today.

Next time I hire a proffesional!

hey Starry
sorry to hear that -

Unfortunately it is a big chore to properly train a tank sitter. Just too much information.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Hopefully you won't lose anything else.
