    Purple Tang in RSM 250

    Thanks every one for the quick reply. I jumped on the deal, I will monitor the fish in the upcoming weeks. I had a yellow tang for awhile but he was far to aggressive to new fish but otherwise was great, this will be the last one I add, so I am thinking aggression shouldn't be an issue, will...

    Purple Tang in RSM 250

I am very happy with the progress of...

    I had a lot of the same issues with my Kole Tang, it ultimately was ick, and got one of my other fish sick, I think I found it a little too late though, I now have a UV in my tank and have introduced new fish (a couple moths later) after my kole tang went to the big sea in the sky, I think the...

    alright, I got a little restless as the yellow tang was really picking on my new potters angel, so I couldn't wait until tomorrow to try the fish trap however I will be using in the future if need be, I wasn't going to lose another fish because of one I really didn't like to begin with, I...
