I have no idea what is going on in my tank right now. Everything has been doing great for the last year and then all of a sudden I have lost 3 fish in the period of 2 weeks. A hawaiin flame wrasse, female blue jaw trigger and today I found my sohal dead. All of my parameters are right where they should be
ph 8.2
nitrate 0
nitrite 0
ammonia

calcium 375 (lower than normal but Im trying to tune in my calcium reactor)
Alk 7 (normally 10, but has been lower without any issues)

Tank is a 450 gallon reef
Any ideas as to what might be going on. I seen the sohal yesterday and he looked fine. My achilles used to pick on him but it has been weeks since its happened. Thanks in advance
 
Feeding any new foods lately? Dosing anything new? Are you doing anything differently?

Well I started doing water changes. I never did water changes until about a month ago and I do about 30-40 gallons a week, but I cant imagine that being a bad thing you know.
 
trying to dial in calc reactor? maybe a little too much CO2 got in the tank?
I was kinda wondering that my self. I have it set on a ph controller and the drip line is about 8-10 inches off of the water. If this is the case how would I know and what can i do to remedy the situation?
