Tang Gang - Meet My Achilles Tang, Powder Blue Tang, Hippo Tang (Aka Dory), Orange Shoulder Tang

[@thomasthecat951]

Awesome Tang family. My luck with chromis is if you have at least one fish that picks on them. Then they should band together and watch out for the more aggressive fish. I have had 5 in my 75 for about 2 year’s now. The dottyback chases them every time he see them 😂 I don’t think I’m putting any in my 180.

It’s OK I’ve had to deal with piranhas

Are you subscribed?

[@AquariumSurge]

I think I am done with chromis bc of the cost. I would probably consider 5 anthias in the future

[@Fish_Ventura]

Ick free tanks are possible, all mine are. My Achilles and tang gang appreciate it. I did tank to tank transfer and CP. it was a massive effort.

[@AquariumSurge]

Thats amazing! Do you have a Hippo tang? I have a theory that these guys are Ich holders🙄

[@BlueLazer018]

Very nice. I can't keep a tang to save my life.

[@MrShishi]

How big is your tank? Honestly I feel Yellow and Purple tangs are bullet proof since they can do well in smaller tanks. The Powders, clowns, achilles, aka acanthurus species are difficult because they need a larger system and really good diet and flow.

How do you manage low phosphates

[@AquariumSurge]

I am dosing Phosphates continuously via Ecotech versa pump. I checked them two weeks ago they were .06ppm. If I stopped dosing they bottom out. Acros tend to look more vibrant when they are 0 but the zoas and acans are an instant indicator phosphates have bottomed out. They do not like to open up when it bottoms out

[@AquariumSurge]

Maybe I'll make a video soon on carbon dosing with Phosphates. I purchased Phospahate from Amazon for $10 and honestly it may last a lifetime 😆

[@knox7945]

Powder Blue killed majority of my fishes, so I'm a bit scared to get it again

[@AquariumSurge]

Hmm. Only fish I added after the tangs was the chromis and none of my tangs bothered them. I think if I added another medium size fish they would probably kill them

[@Fish_Ventura]

Everybody needs a place to hide around Blue, caves and crevices. Defensible positions.

[@DesertSaltyfish]

How do you treat the lateral line ? My hippo had it for almost few months now, thank you!

[@AquariumSurge]

depends how bad it is. My yellows got it in a holding tank after 2 years and really took a permanent beating. The purples I didn't do anything special just made sure I fed them good and they healed pretty quickly. Make sure your using good carbon and rinsing it good

[@Fish_Ventura]

@@AquariumSurge and IMO, beware GFO, granular ferric oxide. At least keep it in the back of your mind if all else fails and u use it. Agree with Mr. Surge’s advice. Good water, nori daily, and time. (No GFO for me personally, suspect it could contribute)
