I have a 75g that is about 4 months old. Just recently, my flame angel died. Checked my params and everything was good. Removed him and did a 15g water change. Other tank mates are a star, 2 percula clowns and a coral beauty. The flame was laying on a rock yesterday and then last night, he was swimming around again. This morning I saw him dead on the bottom. When I checked my PH, it didn't even register between 7.6-8.4.
I added balance and got it up to around 7.8-8.0. Nitrates were at 0.
I have a sump filtration system with bioballs and a few foam filters. I use RO/DI water for top off and changes.
So far, I have lost a blue spotted puffer and a wrasse. May not be related, but I am at a loss to what is going on.
The tang looks very pale and he almost looks to be peeling. I feed them green algae, pellets and occasionally brine shrimp.
I did add a few zoanthids to the tank this week. They are the only corals. Not sure if they released some palyotoxin that could be killing the fish or if ick is present.
I can't get a pic of the tang because he keeps hiding.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
