Hi everyone,
I'm losing a fish every few days and I can't figure out why. I have been in the hobby for almost 2 years and never had any issues with keeping fish. Also lost one cleaner shrimp and have one remaining.
Checked my parameters and it's
0 for nitrate
0 for nitrites
.2 for Ammonia
PH is 8.0
1.025 salinity
A month ago I took the water, live rock (bought new live sand) and the contents from my old tank and moved it into my new tank. Before that I when I did a water change of my old tank I would take the water that was clean and place it into the new tank. I let it run for a few weeks prior to me moving everything over. Everything was great for the first 4 weeks then I lost one fish and now I have lost 4 fish. After losing 3 I did a 20% water change and my levels was identical. The fish showed no signs of distress and were eating and swimming normally. All my anemone's, coral, softies, LPS and SPS look normal and are doing well. The fish have no signs of anything when I removed them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated it, need to take some corrective action before I lost any more.
I'm have been running carbon, my chaeto is growing fast and my algae scrubber after being online for a few weeks is starting to show growth. I also have marine pure blocks, maxspect nanospheres in my sump.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
