Think really strong acids or bases -- like hydrochloric or muratic acid.. It has nothing to do with Salt.

I've know many people that do freshwater dips that don't adjust the PH that have good results. 6 months ago, I FW dipped my clowns without adjusting the PH (I had no QT system, and did it as a precaution before putting them in the display. They are of course to this day, fine.

I come back home from Thanksgiving holidays out of town, and its all cleared up...so I am guessing whatever it was, either run its course or the Tang was able to fight it.
All in all I am certainly pleased, its not very often these sorts of things, for me anyways, turns into a positive situation... I would have surely missed this fish If he would have passed.
