I’m in the process of moving everything over to a much larger Red Sea s 500 tank. I left the old sand, handful of rocks, heater, one Nero 3, return pump, and light. But I just checked up, and my Blue Tang has white marks all over her head. I’m thinking she scratched herself while trying to hide out of stress. I did a quick handful of tests, any ideas?

Ph: 8
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Solidity: 35

I did a larger water change yesterday, about 30% so I could pull that water into the new tank.

The new tank is still heating and I bought another heater, but I’m uncertain when it’ll be here, maybe a few days. I could put her in a fresh mix of saltwater within a 5g bucket, but I think that won’t accomplish much. She has been in this tank for 2 - 3 months. If I stay away from the tank, she seems to be okay and stress free. Thoughts on what I should do here?
