Hi everyone, I have been reading on this forum for about a year, but I just got my account today. I set up my first real tank (red sea max nano) a little less than a year ago, and the insight of people on this forum was always the first resource that I read when my tank was looking rough. I set up the tank on May 8th of last year, and it has been a long journey. It has two ocellaris clowns, a royal gramma, and an assortment of LPS and anemones. Recently, the tank has been under assault by a veritable swarm of bubble algae. I tried dosing vibrant, but after reading about recent chemical analyses and having a Trachy get rather ill, I discontinued it. Some other things that I have considered include dosing Reef Flux, risking the various perils of emerald crabs, and "renting" a baby fox face or tang for about a month. (I know somebody who maintains several 100+ gallon aquariums that could fit something of that sort, once they grow too big for my tank.) Of these ideas, which sounds like the most sensible course of action, or does anybody have other ideas? In particular, do you think it is OK to keep a baby fox face or Biota tang for 2-4 weeks in a 20 gallon display? I am aware that they need a long term tank of 100+ gallons, but I decided that I might as well run this idea by some reefers with more experience with tangs and foxfaces. I am looking forward to using this forum frequently and conferring with a community of other reefers.
