I'm at pets warehouse right now and there are about 7-8 really healthy powder blues, 3 of them are pretty big. Should I get one? Im iffy about it any input?
Powder blue tang!!

even a small 1 will quickly outgrow your 75g tank, and will be aggressive
how do you know that they are 'really healthy'?

I have mine for about 14-15 years now and most of that time in a 90, which is only a few inches taller than a 75. It never really grew much and now for a couple of years in 170. It still hasn't grown longer just fatter...LOL
PBT as mentioned can be very aggressive, mine is, and has to be removed almost every time I add a new fish...they also can be difficult to acclimate into eating in which they need a varied diet. They also are very proned to getting stressed out which causes them to be their nickname....the ick magnet. I don't recommmend them to newbies or their first time keeping a tang...

4 1/2 hours! WHY?
+1....definitely excessive and probably stressful on the fish. A one hour drip is more than enough.

Keep an eye on him. This will be the test to see if you have ich in the tank

He looks completely fine I mean, thats how long it took for the water quantity to double plus pets warehouse salinity is 17, mine is 25. How fast is the drip rate supposed to be?
Powber Blue Tang, one of the most beautiful tangs. The drip issue is over besides shipping is much longer than 4 1/2 hours. It's good it's eating but your trouble is not over yet, it has just begun. Keep him happy with lots of food and clean water and don't add anymore fish for a while.
