Default You stressed her

[quote=reefgirl189;700113]I'm not going to bother dimming the lights, I feel like it's coincidental that he gets sick at the addition of new light. Unless he's a vampire I don't see how lights can harm him. I did also add two new powerheads in the last week but I have the flow tuned down to roughly the same rate as before the new tunzes were in. I'm gradually increasing the rate by 5% per week.

If things change I'll update the post but I hope he starts to eat soon. I've tried all the available foods I have today and he's not interested.

All other fish still seem great and are acting normal. All corals are healthy from what I can tell. If the tang doesn't make it I'll have no idea why.[/QUOTE

Greg is giving you great advice.
It is very possible that you stressed the fish with the light or installing the light.
Darken the room completely and turn off the tank lights.
Approach the tank only to feed her your varied diet.
Resist the urge to shine a flashlight in the tank just to see if it is still alive or eating.

Everything should be Ok tuesday morning

Good Luck

PS it wont harm your coral.
