R.I.P. kole tang . Bitter-sweet weekend.

 

sweet pics dude!!!!! love the variety

what happend to your tang?

 

Ich, at least I think so. saw a few spots on his lateral fins yesterday, figured he maybe just got stressed from me having my hands in the tank alot lately with adding the corals, then today when the lights come on, looks real sick, splotchy, with lots of the little white specs too. At that point I figured any attempt to pull him and QT would be too much on him and he died a few hours after lights on. Actually my first SW fish loss but I got those new duncans this weekend from a friend, so I guess you win some and loose some, I will try and slow down for a while tho with playin in my tank too much.

 

that sucks, was he eating any prepared foods? and how long has you rank been running?

 

The 55's been up since june 8, and I started from a 20g that went up in jan/feb

 

Oh, sorry. He ate everything I put in, mostly algae sheets, flake, and mysis for a treat. seemed great and even ate yesterday evening. Happened pretty fast but I guess maybe I didn't see the early signs.

 

Update time.
Added:
216 wt T5HO 4bulb fixture.
2 bar rabbitfish
a few polyps and some growth on the others.








Thanks for lookin!

 

Great pics!! That Rabbit fish is the same family as a FoxFace......right? Luna

 

Thanks Luna. It is a two-barred rabbitfish in the same family. (Siganus) I had to look that one up. So far a really cool addition.

 

According to my ref. book, its called a Virgate Rabbitfish and is very close looking to a Masked Rabbitfish. Luna
