Recommendation for what size Shu to use for a 4.5 inch Quoyi parrot fish. My tank is a 150 with 1/2 in glass and euro braced.

bigger is usually better to lessen stress on the fish. the largest size (schillinger) is 14” long. the next size (o’reily) is 10”. out of the two i would go with the larger.

If I choose the larger one and the divider option, how many dividers does it come with?

one divider down the middle.

Is the divider removable? Also, is the divider clear?

How would you clean the coralline algae off of these after being in a tank for a while?

I saw one you did that had two dividers. How would I go about ordering one with two?

just like anything else - soak in diluted vinegar bath.

@cromag27 Many thanks for creating this product. Ordered mine today. Can go back to dreaming about future fish because once this arrives I have a safer acclimation plan than my current DT acclimation box which is fixed to side of tank After QT, plan week+ in DT moving it around within DT so existing fish get used to seeing new future fish in all areas of tank so they allow future new fish in all areas of tank. Expecting this to be literal life saver going forward !!
