josh24360 said:Maxiflo 1400 I beleave the largest and yes it rolls top of water, can't remember oh 8.4 maybe? No skimmer fish only with live rock and no lid
josh24360 said:All levels were fine 2 days before and amonoa.was reading 0 that night... I don't test the water daily usually twiced a week... tank is 72 gallon bow front
josh24360 said:I honestly didn't check we were in a panic getting put the survivors and into a bucket and cleaning the tank so they would have somewhere to go other than a bucket... in hindsight I shoulda tested but the shock of all the money and fish gone mind was blank. I guess ...

Innovator said:I am assuming you have a proper filter for oxygenation purposes so that aside...No offense but if you have water parameters drastically change due to 3 fish additions such as the OP's, you shouldn't have a tank.Testing after a large death toll or event is pointless because all parameters will be out of whack as the bacteria blooms and corpses fester, of which the milky glaze is normal and often precedes eventual disintegration of the epidermal. Cowfish are known for their quick release of toxicity and I've seen tanks succumb in hours you can count on your hands. Sorry for the loss, but I think water parameter speculation might be stretching it here.
