Nope just a skimmer, carbon filter, and sponge filtrationAre you using a bio pellet reactor by any chance?
Gotcha, I had a bio pellet reactor clump up and not tumble the pellets and it did pretty much the exact same thing. Sorry this happened!Nope just a skimmer, carbon filter, and sponge filtration

5 months with 0 issues until now,How long has your tank been running?
oh yeah my torch coral got completely melted into brown purple-ish goo underneath, I rinsed it off in the old water and used a turkey baster and it got 100% liquefied, the bloom must've happened the same night I left for the weekendSounds like dying coral shedding flesh.
Do a water Water change - Big one.
One of my chromis was in half, I'm thinking maybe he swam into the wavemaker while I was gone-Test ammonia
Bacterial bloom usually isn’t fatal. Possibly chromis faught and one got picked off, died and started polluting the tank. They get along until one day they don’t.
I have a 75g tank. Over the 10 years I tried
3 chromis - ended up with 1
4 chromis thinking bigger school is better - ended up with 1
3 chromis - ended up with 1
All these groups were bought together at the same time and introduced together. They all got along but after a few months
One becomes dominant and started taking them out, starting with the smallest one then moving on
I have heard this with Chromis for ages, i have 5, and have no issues with fighting - they all school together and have for a few years now.Test ammonia

Well, one dead fish wont nuke a tank - it just becomes food for other fish.oh yeah my torch coral got completely melted into brown purple-ish goo underneath, I rinsed it off in the old water and used a turkey baster and it got 100% liquefied, the bloom must've happened the same night I left for the weekend![]()
220g is likely the contributing factor - plenty of dart spots and things to break line of sightI have heard this with Chromis for ages, i have 5, and have no issues with fighting - they all school together and have for a few years now.
220 Gal tank which may help?
Sucks to lose everything when your away though, i regularly leave my tank for a few days at a time and its always one of those things coming home you worry about!
