Do you test the waterchange water?

Purdy!

We are not worthy!

+1 cvc Releasing that fish into the ocean will do more harm then good. A public aquarium perhaps?

A blue tang could survive in a 4 foot tank, but you should see how happy they are in a 6 or 8 foot tank. Considering you get these guys from the ocean (we cant get tangs spawned and raised in the home aquarium) it would be best to give them as much space as possible. They love to zoom around!

Just fatten him up like pudge the Mandarin and youll be fine ;) tank is looking great!

I remember reading someones post about the smaller fluval edge (5 gallon or so I think) and the salt creep basically destroyed the wires and want not inside for the light and want not. Do you know how long they had it set up for? The ones I have seen were modified with better lights for corals...

Love your rock, its all so interesting! :)

Are you using tap water? If so I would test the nitrate in your newly mixed water change water.

yet... I had an orange crab that looks kinda like him. He lives in a tank with my lionfish lol.

Methinks you need vip to have a pic siggy on LR

the Aiptasia x is a small bottle of paste like substance, you wont be able to just pour it into the water. I had a tonne of it, I just went about killing what I could and in a day or two I would go on said same rampage. Peppermints werent an option for me because I have a lionfish and peps = lunch.

The aiptasia X comes with a little syringe (no actual needle though) and you turn off the flow and squeeze the aiptasia x into and around its mouth. It usually works pretty well but sometimes you will have to do it a few times

Yup kill it now! Aiptasia X is some good stuff. Edit: the pink stuff is harmless but I forget what it is called. I believe its a filter feeder.

At zero. I tested wayyyyyy to much (like every day) so i would be a bad example lol.

It can be as quick as 2 weeks, or it can take as long as 8. Just keep testing ammonia and nitrite and when both of those are zero you will be able to bring down your nitrates with a water change and get your first fish for the tank.

Did you try putting up a mirror? Angels can be pretty agro, You could also try turning off the lights and re arranging the top rocks

just let the ammonia do its thing. It will take time though.

I honestly dont know of any... but if you find any be sure to let us know!

Thats most likely from the freshwater bacteria. Even though you rinsed it off very well any bacteria left over would have died in the saltwater. Is this a new tank? If so I would just let it cycle, if it is your tank with fish I would start mixing water and get ready to do some water changes.
