Recently running into a bad streak. Tank is 6 months old with Fish and Corals. Lost a Chocolate Tang two days ago - no markings to assume sickness. He just stopped eating and within 2 days was gone. Very sad.. We had him about a month. Now, I may be getting paranoid but the Chromis are acting strangely (could just be a party now that the big boy's gone )..they're twitching and swimming erratically, seem to be bumping in to corners and rocks. Again, no signs of disease. Two Clowns and Hawk are doing just fine. Everyone is eating.
Lost a Pink Tip Elegance two months ago. Purchased this leather coral (need help with ID'ing names) and it was so beautiful up until two days ago (see deceased fish above).
The other coral has been sick for about a week.
75 Gal
Salinity 1.025 (a little high?)
Amon 0
PH 8.0
NitrItes 0
NitrAtes 10
ALK 1 (down from 3.0 two weeks ago)
CAL 400
PWC Every Sunday!
Lighting - can't remember what it's call but it has the blue and white lights and is only 6 months old.
We condsider ourselves to be newbees still - water seems to be OK. All other corals are flourishing! What else can we eliminate? Is the tank just too new for these types of corals and fish?
