Aquarium Advice Activist
I would like some advice. I am very new to salt water aquariums. I purchased two new Tangs (a Yellow Tang and a Regal Blue Tang) about two months ago and unfortunately I didn't believe all the horror stories about ick. I trusted my local pet store. At any rate, I ended up losing the Regal Blue Tang and two other fish in my tank to ick. I quickly purchased a qt tank per the instructions given here, but I ran into a small problem with the salinity/specific gravity. My specific gravity meter didn't go down to 1.009 so I purchased a new one. This one read about 0.003 units higher than my old one, so in trying to sort out the confusion on which one was correct, I didn't get my qt tank down to the 1.009 level until about 7 days ago. Fortunately, my yellow tang quickly lost the white spots and seems to be doing great. My question is, how much longer should I keep my yellow tang in quarantine?
