I am new to saltwater but have had freshwater tanks before. I started a 60 gallon Hectagon tank. I asked the local fish store to help me get started. The temp 78% and Salt level is 1.022 within the range I am told. They said to only run the sand filter and I have an extra powerhead to move the water at the bottom. 2 bags of live sand and rocks (from the store not live yet). Then I added 4 bottles of bacteria from fish guy (in a couple of days). Then I added 5 damsels and was told they will cycle the tank in 30 days. I was going to give him water sample in 10 days to check. Well 2 Damsels were gone by morning and the other 3 the next day. I called fish guy and he said the water must be contaiminated by us filling it up (perfume, cologne, or something). Any advice or comments much appreciated.
