I am in day 7 of tank transfer after day 12. Do I put into temporary 120 why my 180 goes fallow or set up another QT and put him in there for another 1-2 weeks?

Fallow is for 12 wks, I'm assuming you know that. I would put the AT in the 120g, be sure and give the tang plenty of flow

Yep, I do understand the fallow period and the flow needed. Thank you for the response. This is my 1st tank transfer and wasn't sure whether to put into 120 with Magnificent Foxface and filefish, both are Ich free and have been in this tank for 6 months. I still need to do my Purple Tang, Regal Angel and Gold-flake Angel. The Achilles was eating well in the LFS but was covered and going to die because this LFS wasn't going to pull and treat. So I purchased and started tank transfer.

Glad you were able to treat and save the Achilles, I think they are one of the must have majestic fish if you will. Is the AT eating for you currently?
 
Not trying to hijack but asking a question. What do you do the tank transfer in when it comes to tangs? I use 5g buckets only filled with about 3 gallons, but my fish are smaller. I'm curious for tangs if you are using larger tanks to transfer them?

It's more about controlling the ammonia in the temp set ups and keeping fish less stressed. I did TTM with a juv AT and 10g tanks with about 7-8g of total water in the tanks
