Help!
I work night shift and just came home this morning to a cloudy tank. Could not see any of my fish from afar. Looking closer, all of my fish are "gasping" for air on the top of the tank. I noted one firefish goby and 1 snail dead in the corner of the tank. Fish are not eating anything after feeding their usual mysis shrimp.
Tank Stats:
FOWLR setup
1x Ocelarris, 1x Black Ocellaris, 2x Chromis, 1x Bengai Cardinal, 1x Juv. Koran Angel
Issues: moderate green hair algae, being treated with reduced lighting and phosphate remover.
All water parameters were tested good 3 days ago except pH (7.8). Used pH up and went to 8.1. Did a quick strip test once I noticed the death and I have 0ppm Nitrite/Nitrate but have 7.5pH (it went down). Added more pH up.
Only changes to tank the past 2 weeks is a new protein skimmer and 20% water change (same water I've been using for 8 months) . Turned off the protein skimmer for now, still running canister.
Any help would be appreciated!
