I don't know if it's an emergency yet but as I said, I have a bad feeling.
I recently got a firefish, a maxima clam, a pin cushion urchin, a condylactis anemone and a pom pom crab. This might be completely unrelated and it might not be.
The clam and the urchin died within 24 hours. I was extremely surprised, sad but calmly took them out, measured parameters there was a bit of ammonia so I did a water change. That was a week ago.
Around the same time I couldn't find one of the shrimps, and my candy coral started looking not too good. Also brown algea seems to be going out of control so I decided to keep the lights off for 3 days starting now.
I just measured my parameters and they look fine, but my long spinned hasn't moved for at least a day, the coral is probably gone and the anemone feels like it's closing more than it should.
I would prefer if nothing else died for a while but I just don't know what to do.
A few more info, tank is 1y and 5 months old. Around 55gallons or 200 liters. Biweekly water change. Heater and chiller so temperature is 26-27 at all times.
My KH seems to be 5 which has always been weird but also has always been around there and my parameters for the most part never change, at least the ones I test.
Am I missing something huge?
Also, I guess I found what is left of my missing shrimp [emoji17]
