Yellow Tang, Red Streaks, saw the sticky (pics)
Just wanted to share some pics of what I’m seeing…
I read the sticky thread on this subject and all water parameters are normal (I’ve read Ph can be a factor here, it’s steady at 8.1). Seems like it might just be a mild case at this point… Should I try some large water changes? Take him out to medicate? Or just keep an eye on it for now?

Red spots are often a sign of a bacterial problem .. many times they clear up on there own. Your PH is fine and s/n have anything to do with the red spots. If you fish is eating fine I would not be concerned.
You have alot of fish for that sized tank ... water quality and stress may be a factor, if so, water changes and perhaps a reduction in bio load may help. |

although the load is probably ok for now..the foxface and tang will eventually need more room.

So after reading everything about the red-ness on Tang I was not sure what is causing mine… But get this… I do use a poly pad on the top of my sump tower (1st thing that water from the display hits going into the sump). I religiously change the pad every Sunday (just toss the old one, its cheap). I noticed last sunday that the pad was more filthy than normal after a week. I also noticed Monday morning the tang had NO TRACE of red-ness now. Mmmmmm. I’m going to try and change the pad twice a week for a little bit and see what happens…
Thanks for the advice!!!
