I am going to be getting a bristletooth tang and a flame angel in on Tuesday and have established a 10 gallon QT tank. It has all the components that are widely listed for a QT on this forum. Amonia is 0 right now and I have a sechem test in the tank. I also have a lot of bio spira on hand also and already put some in the tank. Everything seems very stable right now. So I read that the angel does not like copper. So if these two come in and I observe nothing on them should I not treat the QT with copper because of the Angel? Should I lower the salinity? I know that keeping salinity stable in a small tank is hard but I spent a lot on the tang and I don't want stupidity to kill it either. Thanks for any help.

I have found that angels can handle copper if it is ramped up slowly. Take a week or two to bring copper levels up and it should be fine. If it seems to be getting stressed due to copper you can always run carbon to remove it.

^Yes and in a 10 gal just be sure to watch your ammonia alert badge. Tolerate nothing but yellow.
