Hi,
New to the forum here. I have had my Red Sea Reefer 250 up and running since January 2020. I have been loosing fish after 2-3 months each time I have introduced them. I test my water weekly to ensure my levels are in line. I did have an Ich issue 1 time and Velvet issue 1 time in which I have let the tank cycle with out any fish for 5 weeks each time to let the Ich/velvet cycle out. I recently started to quarantine my fish on this last go around. I quarantined 2 clown fish for 30 days with copper treatment for 14 of those days. I then repeated the process when I purchased a Khole Tang. The 2 clowns and Khole Tang were in my main tank as follows, Clowns 2 months and the Khole Tang 1 month. Khole Tang went missing within 24 hrs 2 weeks ago. I searched my aqua scape and didn't find him anywhere? Keep in mind within 24 hrs gone, I can only assume my cleaning crew went to work. Last week I lost both clown fish. No signs of disease or illness. All 3 where eating and showed no signs of any concerns. I have a Foxface and Coral Beauty in quarantine right now for the past 5 weeks and they are healthy and eating. Not sure where to go from here. Any help or feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time all!
