Thanks Rich. Now that you've cleared it all up for me, I've known of this treatment ever since I started with salt water. Just never heard of it referred as Hypo before.

I tought you had more fish then that, Then if its only 3 fish I would put them in a qt, put different size pvc tubes so they have places to hide, this way you won't have to remake all that saltwater back up in your dt.

Hey Brando, do your clowns have ich too ?
They aren't displaying signs of it no, only the powder blue WAS, but now isn't and the hippo died of ICH I believe.
My clowns look healthy as can be and have from day 1 :/.
Almost makes me want to sell these fish to someone let them QT them and I'll get mine all from Diamond of the Reef, but my clown survived a tank crash and all so I got attachment issues.

The clowns are definitly troopers, very hardy and beautiful fish. PowderBlue is a very hard to keep and Hippo easy to keep, but both develope ich easily if stressed. sorry to hear that you lost the Hippo, but i think it was for the better. They get really greedy and eat everything before anyone else even notices there's food in the tank. That's why they call it a Hippo Tang, they're beasts.
Lmao!
The clowns are awesome, paired up and all. Got black on orange love!!
The powder blue eats like a pig, but its skin looks beat up :/.
Hippo was a small guy maybe 2" tops and was a gorgeous blue.
Definitely learned my lesson though QT EVERYTHING before it goes in, too much time and $ invested to waste over a $20 fish.

Sorry for your loss, bud. Hopefully you've learned you lesson on buying hard to keep fish when you're still cycling your tank.
Looking good with the rock in there.

Yeah stinks :/.
Going to hold off a bit until I add more. I want to get everything running 100%.
I did a 50g water change today, meant to do 30, but miscalculated how much I drained from my sump fml.
Anyway lesson learned and will move on.
