Purple Tang HLLE

[William Spak]

Hey all,

So a few moths ago, I posted a thread about my tangs HLLE getting worse, and people told me to change my power outlet (as stray voltage was in the tank), and also to dose my seaweed with vitamins, and I now do that with a product called VitaChem. I also feed my tang spirulina, and mysis.

I have attached two pictures, one from August 16th, 2019, and one from today respectively. It appears to be gradually getting worse.

The tangs behavior is great, he eats whenever I feed the tank, and he is constantly swimming around.

What else can be done to combat HLLE?

Thanks,
Will

Looks like huge vitamin defiency. some of the foods you should be feeding is:
Nori rubbed with garlic
AND WITH SELCON VITAMIN ADDED TO IT:
Mysis shrimp
Plankton
LRS Herbivore diet
Formula 2 flake and frozen
Spirulina Brine shrimp

Live macro algae, find out which ones he will eat, gracilaria(ogo) and caulerpa(my fish like the fern type) and 2 potential. I guarantee and a supply of fresh macro will reverse hlle, if your water quality is good.

Three issues associated with hlle. stray voltage, carbon, and diet. What to do to make sure you cover all base

Ground probe paired with gfci outlet.
Stop running carbon.
Feed new life spectrum and LFS herbivore frenzy
