do you run carbon? If so you should remove it as I have read that some study show that carbon can cause HLLE in tangs.

what type of frozen food do you give? I suggest PE mysis if you can find it.

water params
-sg=1025
-nitrite =2
-ammonia=0
-temp = 26C/79F
-ph = 7.8 (low, but it is steady at this since I set the tank up 2 years ago)

no stray voltage

Any other ideas on what could be causing this? It seems to be getting worse instead of better. She is queen of the tank, so I dont believe it is stress.
