Algae Blenny Kicked the Bucket

[Hallowhead]

Howdy,

So in my frag tank I had a six line wrasse & a algae blenny. The six line had died & against my better judgement bought a new one and dumped him right in. He died in two days due to a serious sore that wasn't visible at first... I didn't replace him due to being upset and now my algae blenny just passed. I don't know if he didn't have enough food & or he had parasites. When I removed him from the tank what seemed to be thousands of little bugs were crawling over him... Do i have a parasite in my water column? Should I let my tank fallow? Can I dose nitrates for corals in lieu of a fish for now?

Id go fallow. You don't need fish in a frag tank. Add a few snails if you want to help with algae.

I agree - I have a CUC present & I will dose nitrates accordingly.
