All great advice -- thank you. We did get up to this full load rather quickly (about two months) but the tank gets weekly 10% water changes and a ton of attention from my husband. I had recently read about how sensitive they are, so gradth I think you're spot on. Paul @ aqua serene suggested some anti-parasitic meds, so just did that. Currently setting up our 10gal quarantine tank (again) and gonna try to de-stress him a little in there.

We've had this fish for about six weeks in our 72B (fish only) and the last few days his color has been really clouded....it's almost like when he blends himself in with the rock at night but now it's all day too. The other concerning thing is he has two string-like pieces of mucus coming off of his body. He's eating about the same amount that he always has, so I don't think lack of food is the issue. He's not aggressive, so I'm wondering if he's just too mellow to be in our tank with some of these other fish...? We added a uv-sterilizer after noticing more algae than we liked and that's the only change other than the newer fish....anybody have experience with these fish or would like to offer advice? It'd be greatly appreciated! In the tank is a blackbar trigger, the hawaiian puffer, snowflake eel, blue-faced wrasse, pacific blue tang, and yellow tang (added in that order at two week intervals...two at a time). ...I'll add a picture as soon as I figure out how...

Thanks for the info guys -- we're going to go ahead and buy one locally this weekend. We'd love to save some cash and buy one offered on here, but have absolutely no time to drive north and pick it up.

Thanks for the referral - I messaged WAVES... And we were told it was impossible to drill the tank because it's tempered glass....?

New to the forum/first post -- looking for advice on what to buy & would also love to hear what people have for sale. We've only had a 29g biocube so haven't needed a skimmer or sump before, but our 72g is cycled and ready for livestock -- we'd like to replace the skimmer that came with the tank (super noisy) and also do a sump w/ an overflow box (because tank isn't drilled) before putting any fish or corals in it. Thanks in advance for the help!
