I have a feeling he is yanking our chains....:frusty:

Me? Nope :) I have a bunch of fish to quarantine and that I need to pick up now, and my display tank is currently waiting 6 weeks to rid it of velvet.

:lol:I Say touche sir, touche

oh crap that sucks I didn't know it was not by choice. I thought an upgrade or something...velvet is awful! sorry for making light of it earlier.

I as well thought this was some sort of upgrade until i looked closely! my apologies!

no worries, the velvet is a month ago, so just restocking fish so I can treat them all in quarantine before restocking the 180g. Not ideal, but I got a deal on some fish that I couldn't pass on, so I've got to manage them for a few more weeks in the smaller tank.
I forgot, I've got a purple tang coming too, although that one might be able to stay where it is for a few weeks.

Just love 'em a little, thats really what it boils down to. Overstocked tanks take a bit more work and attention, they are not against any law and I don't really think there are "real" Tang Police.

You've got the right attitude, finding the best way to deal with the situation with what you have available. If you care about fish and care to know about fish, you will do what it takes to keep them happy.

Oh they are real and they are watching right now!! That's why I have tinfoil on all my toilets! All pipes lead to the ocean....can't trust Tangs!!!

Do they have a Mandarin division? Cause if they do I'm screwed!

Brad, if you're going to do 50% weekly, maybe you should split it and do bi-weekly changes. That's what I'd do anyway to avoid swings. And I'd probably use stress guard too. And a shorter lighting period may help with aggression.
Are you gonna do a hypo or such?
