Fish keep dying...

[GHD1959]

Hello,
Magnesium looks a little low so I would bring that up to about 1400 ppm. How long have you been dosing no pox and how much are you dosing?
I feel no pox should be used in a bigger and older setup, it seems from what I have seen in some setups that premature carbon dosing tends to lead to unexplained issues like fish dying off.
Im sure others will take a swing at this one too.

what was the outcome of this problem since I have the same exact problem I'd love to find out if you solved it and what you did to make it work.

I’m running into this problem two. Just randomly losing fish left and right. My tanks been up and going for 3 years and idk what’s causing them to die. Probably looking a fish every week. I started out with 9 fish and have only 5 left. Before that I had even more fish and they all died. So I thought everything was good after a month had 4 fish left. And no sign of anything. So did a fish order. And same thing is happening again.

How do you acclimate? Drip or water transfer? If the SG isn't all that different in their bags and the SG of your system, 10-15min water transfer is all that's needed.

Ammonia builds quickly once the bag is open. Sometimes the LFS uses copper in their systems and people bring them home in this water and add Prime or amquel to the acclimation container to reduce the ammonia. Once the water conditioner hits the copper laiden water, it becomes instantly toxic. Damages gills and internal organs.

I think you just solved my issue. Thank you
