Titles says it one of my 40 gallon breeders fish just died with no visible signs of disease no burns around gills both clowns where eating normal amounts behaving normal before I left for class once I got back both dead tank is very cloudy, inverts all lived including a star fish and snails all coral seem to be unaffected other than a pulsing xenia which is still open but is floppyier than normal on his base
only recent changes to tank was a bottle of microbacter 7 and added a couple of Favia's
with a volt meter I was able to pick up .02 volts
Tank:
40g breeder
2 fluval canisters (running carbon, floss and bioballs)
micmol light
Salinty 1.027 ( I run 1.027 on all tanks)
temp 80 within a half degree or so
ammonia ~0
nitrite ~0
nitrite ~.25
phosphate ~0.4
According to my Redsea Test kits (I know they are inaccurate)
they where 2 adult marron clowns
There is now no fish in tank and about 10 corals and 10 assorted inverts and im concern without fish the corals will not have a source of nutrients other than reef roid's ill be spot feeding with and if im safe to move a set or ocs. clowns from another tank in.
ive got zero idea what happened the only thing i can think was maybe somethng in the microbacter but ive never head of it causing problems
#reefsquad @Jay Hemdal any idea's?
