HELP

[paccasofish]

Help Needed please please please,
Just upgraded from a 40 to a 75 everything was running great permitters then I had an anemone go bad out of the blue then 2 erchins then it was a pepermint shrimp and from there 4 blue chromis miscellaneous wrasse clown and now a little cleaner wrasse. Any help would be huge and much appreciated. I think the culprit is this red growing on my rocks.

Can you post a full tank pic? And parameters please? Did you transfer your sand, did you rinse it before transfer?

What other fish in the tank? Is that clown hiding in the rocks?

How did you acclimate the livestock?

Drip acclimated them but it was only from my 40 gallon that went in and his that where already in the tank prior to me buying it

 

[I never finish anythi]

That stuff on the rocks might be Dino's tbh?

Looks like red cyano bacteria... especially when op stated red stuff...

so what should I do because my fish are dropping like flies

 

[Llyod276]

If its cyano get chemi clean and if your fish are dying, then you have adisease of somesort. Any spots on the fish? Fading of colors, lethargy, not eating?

 

[Llyod276]

Also your paprams indicate that you have no nitrification cycle happening at all... should at least have nitrates.
But then again you have algea...

Test ammonia see what it shows, just for ***** and giggles..

my ammonia was perfect I kid you not

 

[Llyod276]

When did you last test?

 

[Science/G]

Yes, you have cyanobacteria. Any signs of problems, step 1 is to perform a water change. Siphon out the Cyano when you do. Test all parameters. If you don't have kits take a sample to your local fish store

 

[paccasofish]

in

When did you last test?

Today as soon as I got back from school

 

[Llyod276]

Alright. Keep on it. Seems like youre going thrkugh a tank wipe/crash. Hopefully the clowns pull through...

When was the 75 setup? How did you do this upgrade? Did you just move sand and rock and fish over and then add extra water? Or was the 75 setup and running for a while and then you moved stuff over
