Re: Bloated Nasa Tang

I'm back from the trip and everything is still kicking. Boy I hope I can answer all the questions.

Lynn - Yes, this is the tank that was treated with copper. My Palani Tang made it through the treatment. Copper was tested, reading is zero, I'm also running carbon.

Boomer - Maybe I need increase the veggies. He is the only veggy eater in the tank, so I have fed the veggies lightly. However, I had nori on a clip for a while and he didn't ever even touch it. The fried xenia is in the other tank.

NaH20 - My fish isn't bulgy at all, very smooth belly.

Frankie - You might be getting Hans Duo if you don't be nice to Mr. Nasa.

Dr Hank - Keep your fingers crossed that you never get it! I've always run a UV sterilizer on the display too.

I think the initial problem was caused by the drop in pH. I'm just not sure what problem that caused, or what I should do now. Still haven't seen him poop, but I haven't been home. I think I am going to have a drink and watch him for a while before I decide my next step (salinity up or down).

Edit - I just got a closer look at him and he appears to be substantially better.
