What Makes?


So I woke up this morning to my new tank in the bedroom. Just finally got it all cycled and put some fish in. I was looking around and couldn't find my fairly large 2-3" true Clown. I looked around forever trying to find him looked in my overflows, my sump, in rocks, on the floor. Finally i removed some of my prefilters in one of my overflows and there he was. for a Large clown like that to get into a fairly small overflow and under pre filters, what would make them do that? I don't know if there is a true answer to this but I was just wondering as well if there is anything I can do to prevent this from happening next time? Well I probably have to introduce a new one soon before the other one gets dominant or is that not a good idea?

On another note I had someone watch my Tang and my clown fish for a month while my tank was cycling and what not. My clown was great the whole time but my tang kept losing color. He eventually became almost pure white and the person i had taking care of him kept giving excuses why. I am not one for confrontation so i just figured I would take him as soon as i could and bring him back to good health. Any secret recipes for bringing back some color, and health? Thanks

No real secrets on the Tang, keep it well feed with seaweed ( nori ), the wider variety of types the better ( I round robin between the green/purple/red/brown ). Feed high protein frozen like mysis and soak it in Selcon ( or Zoecon Kent's equivilant ) to make sure gets plenty of the fatty acids and should get fat and happy again.

Give the tang a good diet of soaked nori and meaty foods and it should come back to good health. (garlic extract and selcon are great additives for feeding)

Fresh crushed (squeezed?) garlic juice is even better. Some hobby level testing has been done on this.
