Out of town for a week and I come home to a purple tang with blotches over his body.
History… Previous tank (90 gallon) running for over four years.
No new fish in three years.
Last fish added was the purple tang three years ago.
No new live rock in four years.
About four weeks ago I transferred everything into a new 180 gallon tank.
Week one of the transfer I had some salinity and temperature swings… all stable the past three weeks.
I have never seen ich in my tank.
I run UV (40w at 200 gph)
Fish acts fine… eating well, swimming all over the tank… no scraping the bottom or rocks. Pictures taken while he was eating pellets off the sand bed.
Other inhabitants include:
2 - GTBA
3 - Firefish
1 - Powder Brown Tang
1 - Royal Gamma
1 - Flame Angel
1 - Six Line Wrasse
1 - Citron Goby
2 - Clownfish
1 - Longnose Butterflyfish
1 - Purple Tang
All parameters are good (tank only up for about 6 weeks).
Salinity = 1.026
See graphs for PH and Temp.
Anyone know what I am dealing with here?
I go back out of town Sunday morning.
