Well, it's been approximately a week. The Sailfin's appetite seems insatiable, if it's not "bothering" me for food, it's mowing down the Bryopsis algae growing in my tank. It has cleared some of my smaller pieces of rocks completely of that algae..
It gets fed 3 times a day, pellet food soaked in fresh OJ, or Reef Complete, then 2 sessions of thawed out frozen food. I even saw it go after a Copepod today. It has had a small outbreak of Ich earlier this week with 3 spots that I could see, but has since then subsided, and I highly doubt there will be an reinfection. My Midas showed no signs as anticipated. Question, what fish should I add next? Flame angel is out of the question as they will eat my Goldback xenias (no rare coral feast for them). An additional tang is out of the question ATM, but I may test out a Hippo next after this Tang gets relocated into my friend's tank. I'm think perhapse a pair of Bartlett(sp) Anthias? Since I do feed my tank Cyclops on a daily basis as well and they're plankton feeders, leave less of the cyclops for the Bristleworms as I"m starting to see bigger ones eeek. The additional fish is to serve 2 purposes, to see if the Tang will get infected by them, and to push my bioload higher, as even with all these daily feedings, my Nitrates tested 0 today. And no, it's not a broken test as it tested 80ppm 2 months ago..
DeNitrate works wonders..
