Do they stink? You would know for sure if they were dying from the smell and falling apartIm so bummed i lost em. These were my very first two from Aqua SD. It split when i first got it into about teo 4” and they doubled in size and were my favorite thing in my tank untill i moved from the 40b to my 75g...

Strange, bta's are usually pretty hearty creatures. Have you done anything out of the norm to the tank or around the tank in the last few days?yea pretty bad thats how i noticed my clown walked downstairs could smell something funny my skimmer was also going crazy i then saw the clown and one of the nems hanging off the rock.
Nope, tank was moved from a 40b to 75g a month ago using everything exsisting. Only thing new was sand, and new sump. used about 20-30 gallons of water from old tank, all the rock and bio filtration. Since the upgrade they haven't been nearly as happy, and have slowly gone down hill. Although the last couple days i thought they were perking back up... just the calm before the storm i guess.....Strange, bta's are usually pretty hearty creatures.

my build thread is in my signature below. Tank has plenty flow, filtration and lighting SG is steady 1.026. ive been checking couple times a day as i started to get my tank slowly back onto dosing mag since ive upgraded to a larger tank. no param swings. they just havent been happy since the move.Take a water sample to a trusted LFS and have water tested . I suspect Low salinity, high ammonia and nitrite and possibly inadequate filtration/water movement without seeing a picture.
If you can smell them this morning, do an immediate water change and add carbon.
Thanks a ton @hdsoftail1065 will keep ya updated! Also good luck on the fish smuggling lolKeep us posted on your test results. I will be out of pocket for a bit while I move some fish and corals from a neighbors house to mine. If you run into any problems I'm sure some experienced reefers watching the thread will help out or you can call in the Reefsquad and they will be happy to help as well. I will check back in shortly. Good luck my friend.
Following up. How is everything doing?well i tested the following after 20gallon water change:
ammonia-0
N03-3PPM
ALK- 9.9 DKH
Ca-450
P04- .2
Mg- 1300
Sg- 1.026 on hanna and 1.025 on refractometer

I think i may have caught it soon enough before anything else is damaged thankfully!

Oh and if I win that @AquaSD gift card in the raffle you can believe the first thing im going to buy is another to replace the poor guy!
