    Sick blue tang, please help

    Thankyou all so much. The NSW I get yes I have seen ornamental fish around, as I also scubadive.

    Unfortunately no one in my area sells ro water. We only have the one petshop too. And they couldn't help me. So I'm about to pull my dory and clowns out and do a water change. I also got some nutrafin spirulina algae tablets but she's not eating :(

    Hi Dave, how do I process the sea water I get? Also my tang is quiet small, smaller than my iPhone. Love how my lfs sold me all the stuff and never told me it will be too small for my tang

    Wow thanks for all the info. Iv had my tank up and running for about 4 yrs and did all the proper cycling. I'm in Australia and get my tank water straight from the ocean.
