Welcome to Living Reefs Dhanraj. Is your yellow tang better now? Probably it's a stress issue due to relocation, or territorial issues too. Good luck!! -NP

Here are some scrubber results I collected: "[Scrubber] is working incredible well. Went from constant algae outbreaks (3-4 per year), to no algae at all. 10 yr old 250 gal reef tank, started developing blooms at year 7. Nothing else worked, even breakdown and rebuilds." -- Joe Lopez "I recent...
