IME marine fish have longer memories than fresh water fish. I'd wait 2 weeks before moving your Tang back to the DT. When I add any fish to my tank I first feed the DT. Then add the newbie at lights out. This gives the new fish time to adjust to it's new surroundings and the other fish will see...

I have a SpeedWave 2640 running my 225 gallon on number three. Mine is the first generation with the 10 minute feed but I've had no problems as it's in the sump so it's water cooled. I'm still keeping the Mag 12 and 18 it replaced just incase. It's been running 6 months and it's using half the...

You could but I don't. I do keep Garlic Extreme by Kent on hand to boost the fishes immune systems so they can fight off ICH. I do have a refugiuem I can turn into a hospital tank if needed. The problem with a large reef system is once you introduce a new fish it's a real pain to re-catch it...

He's probably stressed. Check him in another hour. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
