    I bought a copperbanded butterfly to take care of my aiptasia and the yellow tang is a bully to any new fish I get, so he's gotta go. He's an AWESOME fish, but I would really like a few more fish and the yellow tang will have nothing of it. I would like to see him go to a big tank with someone who will keep him healthy. He's about 4-5", fat, very healthy, and a pig!
    I just caught him in the new Reef Gently Acclimator I got from Craig's store, so I would like him gone ASAP. If I can't sell him soon, I'm going to bring him into the store to donate for one of the anemone/coral propagation tanks so I can still see him everyday! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif
    I could keep him in my 40 sump/refugium for a couple days, but I want him gone right away.

    If the person who's buys him is local, they can borrow my acclimator to acclimate him safely, as long as they return it right away.

    The Reef Gently Acclimator is an acclimator, fish trap, specimen container, and has holes in the inner container to have your new arrival "meet" your new fish while having plenty of circulation through the container.
    Caught the yellow tang in about 10 seconds! Now it's time to let the copperband free!

    Are you saying Craig is selling these acclimators or just one that is for the store? After seeing them in person at MACNA I wanted one but wasnt sure about getting it home.

    Haha, I was afraid more people would be interested in the acclimator than the tang! Craig has one of the XL's left and about 10 or so of the regulars.

    There is a door for the outer box that slides close. You take the big box and put it in the tank sideways, put food(algae sheet) in the back, let the fish swim in, drop/slide the lid close(fishline provided), fish caught!

    WOW, talk about some shameless plugs for the RGA! I have seen the tang though and it is an extremely healthy fish.

    Also, sorry about the fuzzy picture, I rarely clean my back glass and the front glass hasn't been cleaned for about a month(gotta love them bio pellets)...

    Craig's got me working these crazy hours and I never get home before the halides shut off, so cleaning the glass hasn't been high on my priority list with it not being too dirty.

    Ive got room at the restaurant for him but I was kind of thinking of putting a couple in together at the same time. Let me think about it.
