    No need to appologise. I am by no means an expert and will take all the advice I can get.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Sounds good, can the tang hang in there ?

    Is he eating ?

    I do not know enough about chemistry to know if the copper bond up will remain innert, I imagine it would otherwise you would see copper problems with treated water in other system. But better safe than sorry.

    The tang is in reasonably good shape. Despite having quite a bit of ich on him he is a voracious eater. I have kept the water quality excellent and I think maybe this is a result of that. He eats anything and everything I throw at him. All the food I put in he eats. Even all of the algae sheets and pieces of culerpra. I never have to remove old food which I would always do 10 mins after feeding.
