Dead fish removal

[ddevlin]

Unfortunatley my wife is unable to get to our P. Brown Tang that tried through a cave too small for him. I know quicker removal is better but I won't be home for about 12 more hours. will my tank be ok for that long of a period?

At 200 gallons and a strong skimmer you should be fine..... I would ask her to make sure your skimmer is working overtime until you get home......

Good Luck.......

I know how it is. I just lost a YT this week. The Cleaner Shrimp had drug her to the back of the tank.

It sounds like you should be fine in that size of system.

Thanks for the help. I will start watching the fish aat the LFS for a good one.

I would wait until your tests get back to normal before adding another fish. Even in a tank that size, it's bound to boost the amm. a bit. You want the tanks numbers as perfect as possible before adding a new one.
