1. How many fish in the system? 2. How many feedings per day? 3. How much water change and frequency? 4. What does your refugium contain? 5. Can you explain your new fish acclimating process? With a tank of beloved fishes I know it is very risky to add a new potentially infected fish. What measures do you take in introducing new fish to the main tank. Please don't mind all the question as I would like to have some ideas from a real experienced person so I can apply to a similar tank. |

![]() You keep tangs in a 600? How are they supposed to find room to swim?
Anyone who keeps any wild animal in captivity is automatically part of the 'problem'. There is very little moral high ground. We ALL do it for selfish reasons, not for the well-being of the animals. We - none of us - 'saved' a tang from the local shelter. We condoned its wild capture (and the death of several others for every long-term survivor). I'm OK with that. I also condone the death of cod, haddock, sole, and many other varieties of fish. Because, selfishly, I find them tasty. Keep tangs in a 10 gallon, if you find that satisfying, as far as I'm concerned. |

To acclimate fish I put them in a 130 gallon tank that I have plumbed inline. They stay there for several weeks until they're eating well and have recovered from any disease they may have aquired. Also if they require any tx for disease I can catch them easily and tx them in a hospital tank. Since the acclimation tank is the same water as the display there is minimal stress moving the fish to the display. They usually hide for a few hours then gradually venture out of the rocks.
