[Jeremy0322]

Im trying to do everything I can without actually having the tank here, which is proving rather difficult....I wont have the tank til monday around 7:30pm

You gotta post some pics or ideas for the tank, otherwise I get bored and off topic (Adult ADD I think)

Is that tang acclimated yet?

hour and a half drip acclimation for a fish when the water matched in salitity and pH, i think its good. Pics are on the way, they still havent decided who owns which side of the tank yet...lol

[Dentoid]

That's about 45 minutes too long!

[Jeremy0322]

Wait, you can acclimate for too long? Explain yourself?

[Dentoid]

The current thinking is for a shorter acclimation, especially when pH, salinity and temperature are similar.

[Jeremy0322]

Is there an actual reason behind that or is it just that the sooner it hits the tank the sooner the pics hit the net. Im actually curious about this?

There are some acclimation threads by Leebeca somewhere around here.
It applies especially to mail order fish and corals. Depends on the shipping time. They are better off in the tank water than swimming or sitting in their own feces. Too much ammonia.

amazing looking tang you have there. awesome coloration.

It isnt brand new, its been in a QT for almost 2 weeks now I think, but I was having to do some pretty intense water changes to keep the levels in the QT the same, so I figured I would introduce her to the DT now knowing it was a better environment, but the QT water wasnt THAT bad.

I know, right! Im not even saying this because its in my tank, but its one of the prettiest purples I have ever seen. Very healthy looking, gonna keep it that way too!
