I just went through the same thing getting a powder brown out due to aggression to my new Achilles. I took apart half my rock work

I cought a tang yesterday by just waiting while feeding and when he came to the top..BANG.... First try. All the tang were good eaters tho and came up and would eat out of my hands

Well I have had great, success with a red light and a net at night

Sump equals ich!!!!
 

If you put a tang in a sump you are guaranteed of an ich outbreak.

The first tang to perish will be the achilles.

Advertise to give away the tang to a reefer who has a large tank like you.

Lol ich doesn't appear just cuz a tang is a sump.

I my Achilles had ich the first week I got it, but he's all good now

Often ich lies dormant. The fish seem to be able to deal with a very minor problem themselves if they are healthy.

Tangs are ich magnets. The stress of being placed in a noisy environment IMO will cause the OP an ich outbreak. In addition the size of the sump is far too small for a tang which will add to the stress.

As you have experienced with your own achilles, achilles are really iffy tangs. IMO it will be the first to succumb to ich.

I do not believe that anyone on this board would support placing a tang in a sump.

Thank you

Putting a blue eyed kole tang in a sump won't give the Achilles tang ich. Not removing it will.

No a sump is not ideal for a tang. But its an ok 2-3 day solution.

if it doesn't work out... then it might turn into this

You meant to say it often goes unseen, right ?
ICH is either in a tank or not
