Hole-in-the head and Lateral Line Erosion Treatment...

I'm having trouble with a Yellow Tang who is exhibiting signs of HLLE. Any
favorite treatments? TIA, Andy

You may have a piece of equipment that's leaking current into the tank. Put a
GFCI outlet in for your equipment. If that trips, find out what item is bad and
replace it.

My suggestion to you is to make sure you have very good water quality,
very low nitrates, and make sure you are feeding the tang a good diet
with lots of marine algea in it. Nobody knows the causes of HLLE, there
are many theories, including leaking current, stray voltages, poor water
quality and poor nutrition. Personlly I beleive it is caused by water
quality with high nitrate levels being a very bad thing, and poor nutrition.

I'm trying to maintain a good diet and supplement with vitamins. What would
you consider high nitrates? -Andy

It really should not be over 10. Over 50 is getting rather
toxic.

Me personally I would say anything over 10 can be bad for fish. Many
fish though will do OK with nitrates up to 50-75. I try to keep my
nitrates below 5 ppm.
