Great new addition, Capn. I'm very suprised it had only 2 outbreaks of ich being in an LFS for a year. But it being in a tank by itself explains that. How big is he?

put it this way if I LFS tells me something then------
That's why its in qt despite his process that it is now immune and not a carrier LOL

well done Kar---I don't know how many times I have looked for this list

IMO you should repost in a new thread in the new to the reef form and in the reef discussion form

It will generate a lot of discussion and we won't have to bump it to keep it active

If you are too busy let me know and I will do it

[kar93]

Lol, He looks healthy to me. I would just want to throw him right into the display.

[kar93]

Sure thing, I'll get right on it now.

Couldn't really think of a better title but that seemed appropriate.

clown tang for only 180?

one guy was asking if a clown would be good for his 225 and got flamed

im guessing a 10 ft long tank would suit a clown tang perfect

wow awesome tang--glad you posted it here

[psteeleb]

even though I have some window reflection, I thought this picture of one of my 3 yellow tangs grazing came out pretty good.

[kar93]

Great pic, Pete. Do your Yellow's often school, or is it shoal? Where's Evan when you need him.

[kar93]

I was looking back at some pics of my phone camera today and i found a great shot of my ol' Clown Tang. But for some reason when I upload it to my PC it becomes corrupt. Definitely one of my favourite fish. Maybe when I upgrade to a 600gal.

This was an unusual shot in my tank as the 3 yellows are just about always together. As a mater of fact, it's a rare occasion you don't see all 5 tangs together as they tend to always forage together. I don't feed a lot of nori (maybe once or twice a week), this keeps the tangs on the hunt for small algae growths and thus helps keep the tank clean.

[Reeftanks6]

Great picture! I tried and it wont download i will try again.

Some shots from today:

The whole gang hanging out:
