Hello, everyone. So last week, I received a 2100 gph powerhead for my 55 gallon aquarium (since I hope to get corals soon), and installed it the night I received it. A lot of sand was kicked up, but the fish seemed to be getting used to it, with the exception of my purple firefish, who disappeared/hid until last night. Then yesterday, I rearranged my rocks a little bit (though not really any that the fish were living in) so I could glue them together with epoxy and make more room for corals, but that night, things took a turn for the worse. Both of my clownfish became lethargic (with one appearing to be bruised), and the bruised one was found dead this morning. In addition, the firefish was found, though he looks ready to pass on, and I haven't seen my royal gramma or yellow watchman goby come out today, and fear that they may be gone as well. In desperation, I unplugged the powerhead and am now trying to figure out what may have caused all this. Since the flow from the powerhead seemed very strong at first, could that be what caused all of this to happen? Or did my rearranging the rocks cause everything to unfold? Thanks in advance for all replies, and I appreciate any and all input.
