Just did a water change like I always do. No change whatsoever. I went in the shower and when I came out they were all dead! Anyone have any ideas as to why?
4 green chromis
2 Bangaii cardinals
2 fire fish gobies
2 turbo snails
The only thing I can think of is the water was a little cloudy after adding the ph buffer. It always is a little cloudy though. I mix the buffer with aquarium water in a separate container before adding it to the tank.
I must have added to much though i'm not quite sure how. I guess I have to start my tank all over again
May Rock and Roll, Abbot and Costello, the four tops, and Lenny and Squiggy rest in peace

You don't need to start the tank all over again as the nitrifying bacteria will probably have survived the "boo-boo". What you do want to do is correct the ph and let the tank run for a day or 2 then add a test fish to see if the ammonia level starts to rise in a few days. If it doesn't just add more fish slowly so that the bacteria bed has a chance to keep pace with the load.
