Hello Gang,
I was having an unexplained problem in my tank two weeks ago. I had three fish die on me overnight without any signs of stress before, 1 mated pair of Tomato Clowns and one Blue Tang. I tested the water and everything was fine. I decided to do a water change just to be safe. Everything was going fine and all of a sudden I had one more death. This time it was my favorite fish I have ever had, my little flame Hawk. I turned on the light about two hours ago and he was swimming around and looked great as always. I was giving the tank a look over 10 minutes ago and found him dead on the LR.
I'm down to 4 Chromis and one other Hawk. This sucks! Thinking back the only thing new to the tank is a new container of food. Nothing new the same stuff I always buy, Formula One Flakes. Water test, change and I even tested the tank for an electrical charge but nothing is out of the norm. Has anyone ever had something like this happen?
Almost two years ago my tank crashed. I did a water change and was out for the day, when I came back in the water in my tank was white. At 1:30 am in the morning I had to wait until 10am to make it over to the LFS to get some saltwater to do a change. Over the next two weeks I lost all but a couple pieces of coral. Best guess is the calcium I had just picked up was bad but who knows? Since then I haven't really been adding anything to the tank because I kind of lost the stomach for it. I just got a new tank and a new Warner Marine skimmer. I'm still waiting to set it up and this happens. Before this I dont think I have lost 4 fish total in the 4 plus years I have been keeping a reef...UHG!
