I think once everything settles for a while in my 125 I'll grab another from divers den and hope for a better experience.
This tank is on hold as I think slmethsom is wrong with it. We will see what happens once it settles out.
Well good luck. Hope you figure out what is wrong with your tank. I have a fish only tank 300gal that is in dispare right now. We are trying everything we can not to loose our 12+ year old fish. We upgraded for them to larger tank and nothing has gone right.
but best wishes to you.
I'm starting to wonder if that might of been the issue. Seemed healthy, should of qt'd I'm.considering a trio of purples instead of other tangs.
Mine too! Reefs are great- knock on wood. Have 300gal reef and 93 cube reef both good. But 300gal fish only is a disaster. I’ve lost three fish. All fin rot. But had ammonia and nitrite spikes, and ick. And who knows what else. All the fish look sick. I test water daily and change water like every three days and sometimes emergent changes. Have 50gal fixed all the time now. Has been up since the weekend after thanksgiving. Was a tank transfer from 180 to 300.
I've been using the same lfs for everything for a long time. usually I won't buy a fish if it hasn't been there for at least 4 to 5 days. This round of broke my rule, and it likely bit me.Mine too!

Hope yours turns out. Did you read fourfordfamily’s thread on current diseases and quarantine. Maybe reach out to him he’s been super helpful to me. Hotrocks too. They are quarantining lots of fish now for huge system. May be able to help you also. Sorry for your troubles.
Where are you getting your fish from if I might ask? And what state are you in?
I’m in Wi and only get my fish fro
One LFS. Has been fine for years and now he is getting disease too. He uses copper in store and other meds to treat sick fish as they come to him. So sad all fish we have all lost. This use to be easier. And I thought fish only was easier but it’s not. What kinds of fish are you doing in your fish only tank?
Nice emperor!! Also on the list for when we upgrade.I moved the Caribbean blue from my 300 reef that has had ick in the past so maybe that’s why I got ick in my new tank. I thought it came from the new puffer but who knows!
Here’s a picture of mine in the fish only tank. It changes color and is pale sometimes. Was yellow for over two years and recently turned blue about a year ago. I’ve had the blue for over 4 yrs.
I like the list! Good choices! We have the emperor got as a juvenile watched it change, majestic, have a juvenile queen very small in with them and also the 12+yr old Koran! The Koran is agressive but tolerates the others. Next I would do a scribble and regal angel but both are a little timid for my Koran. We have a beautiful annularis in the reef. I think that’s actually my favorite angel! We have a Fox with this group too. Had three triggers but lost one. Last week. Three tangs, 4 angels, tusk in quarantine for pop eye and 2 puffers. All large fish except the baby queen angel. Thank you!
Sound like a good plan! I wish you the best. And hope it turns around for you. Sorry about your losses. Have a good night.
