Catching a tang...

[MarkoD]

I just went through the same thing getting a powder brown out due to aggression to my new Achilles. I took apart half my rock work

If you put a tang in a sump you are guaranteed of an ich outbreak.

The first tang to perish will be the achilles.

Advertise to give away the tang to a reefer who has a large tank like you.

I my Achilles had ich the first week I got it, but he's all good now

Often ich lies dormant. The fish seem to be able to deal with a very minor problem themselves if they are healthy.

Tangs are ich magnets. The stress of being placed in a noisy environment IMO will cause the OP an ich outbreak. In addition the size of the sump is far too small for a tang which will add to the stress.

As you have experienced with your own achilles, achilles are really iffy tangs. IMO it will be the first to succumb to ich.

I do not believe that anyone on this board would support placing a tang in a sump.

Thank you

Putting a blue eyed kole tang in a sump won't give the Achilles tang ich. Not removing it will.

No a sump is not ideal for a tang. But its an ok 2-3 day solution.

You meant to say it often goes unseen, right ?
ICH is either in a tank or not
