Yes, my fish have been dying a lot. This last one was in my QT tank though. Never made it in my DT. My display tank water quality is as follows; ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 25, ph 8.1. I use rodi water do water changes every 2 weeks. My rodi water is testing 0 for tds. I have a 75 gallon tank. Temp stays at 78 F salinity stays at 1.025. I do not have a sump. I have a HOB filter set up for 120 gallons.
Ok that's a start.How long has tank been set up? And w/HOB filters when was last time it was cleaned? Any pics of set-up? Just trying to help you navigate the issues.
I had diatoms about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Then they disappeared. The one fish that has been through it all is doing well from what I can tell. He is a pajama Cardinal. And my conch is going strong.Ok, I'm guessing this tank has been very slow to cycle (it happens) So before you add any fish, corals, etc try "ghost feeding" (feed it fish food, shrimp) the tank until you see the start of algae. That's the first signs of bacteria building up. Don't fret if you seen brown dinos, they will pass. Lets get a base started.
And with my orchid dotty back. He was in the QT for 3 weeks. He was 7 days into Copper safe treatment which I checked daily with a hanna checker. I had just started general cure in the food on Sunday. Then Monday I noticed a white cloudy looking film on the body. I also observed the fish breathing heavy and laying upright on the bottom of the tank.
