8 years ago he was barely 2 inches long. Now he is a big boy.
He’s been through tank upgrades, ich, fungal infections… and he’s still standing strong.
Almost bulletproof at this point 💪🐟

Man, that Yellowtail Tang looks absolutely stunning! I love how vibrant that green soft coral pops under your lighting too. It’s crazy thinking about how much these fish can grow and toughen up with all the ups and downs like ich and fungal infections. Takes some serious dedication to keep them thriving like that over 8 years! How do you manage flow around those softer corals? I’ve been trying to find the sweet spot in my tank to keep softies happy without stressing out my tangs. Also curious if you dose any supplements for those bright colors or just let your water chemistry do its thing

Thank you! I’ve definitely been lucky to keep him this healthy with all the ups and downs over the years. As for flow, it honestly took me years to find the sweet spot. And even now, every time a coral grows out, I have to make adjustments. Right now I’m running two DMP 40s, one on each side of the tank, positioned higher up to really break the surface and create strong turbulent flow for the SPS. That leaves some medium to lower flow areas toward the bottom where I place certain acros and other lower flow corals. For color, I’m running Reef Moonshiners and I also dose Aquavitro Fuel. I think stability over time plays the biggest role though.
