My brown powder has been in the tank for close to a month with all doing well. I looked over at him tonight and it is like he is on a major sugar rush. He is swimming around the rock work so fast, and bumping into things. He is bugging the other fish. ????????????

Could be water quality issues..Do a water change.
Could be parasites rearing their ugly head...keep an eye on him..This Tang [and most all Tangs] will be the first to show something is amiss

Having one of these myself...I would bet its a parasite..All fish should be qt before placing in the main..This fish is extremely prone to ich and other parasites and needs a good 4 weeks [at least] in a qt tank
Mine was in for 6 MONTHS:eek:

yeah tangs are great indicators of poor water quality. make sure and keep that water good.
