I've spoken to Rachelle at seahorse-australia back and forth quite a bit. The optimum purchase would be about 100kg, or about 5 boxes, which could hold ~180 fish. But do the math on that, you...

Agreed, trace elements are a non-issue, and I wouldn't even worry about dosing them. It's just an example some people use about the "cons" of using carbon.

Phew... Sohal in that small tank... IMO, and from what I've seen in dozens of others' tanks that's a recipe for the death of any other Tangs in the tank, eventually. While Scopas are fairly...
