FS: Yellow Tang Burnaby - with caveats

[gregzz4]

With a heavy heart I'm selling my beloved 'Nibbler'
We've had him/her for 6 years and it's grown to approx 4.5" in our standard 75g 4' tank.
I'll call him/her a 'He' and tell you he went through QT/hypo and has been in 3 different tanks of mine. I have not added any new fish to my system for over I think 4 years so this guy is good to go directly into your tank.

Here's the issue ...
Last year, he developed a wound on his right side that didn't go away on it's own. I suspect he wounded himself on an SPS tip.
I placed him into a QT for 2 months with numerous meds and it cleared up. Then, 3 months after being back in my DT it came back.

So I placed him back in the QT with a week of StressGuard and a week of daily 50% water changes, and this time without meds, and it cleared up again, so I again placed him back in the DT.
It appeared being away from the DT with fresh SW changes helped it clear up.

Lo and behold the wound will not stay cleared up and once again he is dealing with it.

I will be shutting my tank down soon and am not able to help him heal, so I'm hoping one of you will take on this task.
I feel there's something in my DT that he can't fight off long-term but hopefully things will be better with a new owner.
I have 4 other fish who are not affected in any way.

I'm willing to give him away for $50 if you have the right sized tank and are willing to 'fix' him.

You must have at least a 4' 75g or larger tank and be willing to save this awesome fish.

No I haven't. My old UV unit is useless and I'm not interested in spending the money on a new/used one.
And for those thinking this may be related to carbon; I haven't run any on a regular basis since early 2016.

One of you must be willing to put in the effort to help this little guy heal ... Ya ?

Tell ya what.
I'll give him away for FREE to the person with the right new home for him.
This will essentially save you over $100 which you can put towards the costs and time to 'fix' this awesome dude.

Thanks for everyone's interest

He'll be happy in a 90g QT and then a 6 foot 150g DT
