juz got a purple tang at LCK yesterday... the fish is not welcome by the brown tang so i had to capture the brown tang and put it in the beta box... the new fish doesnt look comfortable in the tank yet..... so swimming well like other fish......

have u tried testing for copper?

u use normal pub water? might be the water source or your tap

just my 2 cents no harm testing cuz i think thats the only possiblilty

ya.... PUB water..... is it really that detrimental? testing for copper is quite costly.. furthermore is one test only...... thanks for your advice bro.... :)

Obviously something is not really right with your tank..... IMO you should stop adding tangs.... They are ich prone and produce tons of waste... If you filteration system is not good enough, trouble could occur especially when you keep loading tangs...... IMO remove some tangs and stick with maybe 1 and a few other fish.... Surprise your nitrate is at this lvl..... get salifert to double check cos i dun really think your nitrate is at this lvl......

My 2 cents DA :peace:

hi bro. thanks for your input...... i finally know what diatoms are.... exams are appraching so i can't really do much to the tank...... was thinking of giving one tang away, but catching anyone one of them would be tough.... i'm keen to get rid of the diatoms and slime algae, and replace them with beautiful coralline though.

i feed them several times a day and you are right, they are producing tons of wastes... esp when i stand before the tank to feed them.. quite unsightly at times...

measuring nitrate with tetratest. checked again today, it's 12.5mg. the kit running out anyway, i'll heed your advice to go for a salifert. and i will keep a close lookout on ich....

thanks

Rocky :heh:

hey no prob.... just advice for ya... probably when you remove the tangs less waste produce probably you corals would do much better...... If you wanna remove the algae.. get rowaphos or use a big skimmer.....
