I live near the fires in California . Friday night I installed a JBJ 1/4 chiller and dropped the temperature about 3 degrees. Since then it keeps the temperature between 78-79 degrees (goes up and down from 79 to 78 all day, not sure if that's okay). Not even a day later my cleaner shrimp was dead, anthias was on the sand acting weird. saw it swim a bit , ate some black worms, and has disappeared since. I think it's dead. Today my diamond goby was upside down breathing hard. Most of these fish have been in the tank for 2 years. I am so confused. mandarin goby is acting weird also, just sitting in the corner. The larger fish (blue jaw trigger, purple tang, copper band, foxface) seem to be okay. copperband isn't eating as fast as usual. I did a 55 gallon water change today and turned on carbon.
I did open the windows up the last few nights, and the air was a little smokey. Can it be some ash got into the tank? Is the chiller killing the fish? before the water change nitrates were around 15-20. skimmer isn't bubbling up the neck though. I see many micro bubbles coming off the side.
