    Ok, I'll do my normal 15 gallon change. I'm just worried about the amm being too much on the new tang. It will be a small one like 1 1/2". I'm getting it tonight. Hope all goes well. I will post parameters after water change later today. I have the day off work so I'll have time to mess around with it. I appreciate all your help.

    Sailfin (Large), Vlamingii (small), and Kole tang (med.) are my current tangs. I'm adding a yellow belly hippo tonight (baby). This is the last fish I plan to add to the tank.

    did you order the tang from a lfs or online? if you got it from lfs, make sure they hold it a day so you can make sure it is ok before you bring it home. (will also give your tank another day to rest)

    the lfs gets in our shark today, it is taking everything i have not to drive out there and get him tonight, gotta wait til tomorrow

    LFS. I thought it would be less stress on the fish if I took it home tonight. That way it wont be acclimated twice in two days. I did a 15 gallon water change, giving it a few before I retest. Shark--very cool. Good luck with it. What kind is it?

    New tang in and seem to be doing ok. Hiding now, hope it pops out later. Nice color on it though.
