Hi every one I been away for a while, been extremely busy and also affected with the Covid-19 as well as my family, not only we been affected but my tank has been affected as well.
Since last time I post any new picture I have my losses too, I lost my huge yellow tang and coral beauty, my BiColor one, also I lost my black edge eel and been fighting with extremely high levels of Phosphates, I add one of those phosphates reactors things that are suppose to lower the level of phosphate with no success, some of the fishes I have loss looks like if there's something abrasive that got to them as I see some discoloration and then when they die it looks like the skin peels off in areas and has some white patches or discoloration on their skin on some areas, no idea what could be I hardly put something new on the tank, what I did was to slack on water changes because I have read many times about people whom does not change water and they tanks are stable and doing fine.
I also give up my beautiful snowhite eel it was about 16 to 18 inches long because I been told that the amount of silver side i put in to feed her could be the cause of such high phosphates, well even after 2 weeks of give up on her and bring it to a friend reef shop still rocket my phosphates.
Saturday I did a massive water change I have a 90 gallon corner tank and I change 30 gallons of water, clean very well as much as I can reach the sand bed , was very dirty and of course I was having many bristle worms which I hate, rearrange the rocks and add a beautiful rock with corals on it, I add a bag of bio chem and also add another for the phosphate on top of the phos reactor thing I have running, I check water and the phosphate has gone down considerably water looks clean fishes are doing good except that last night I saw somethign that worries me .... my goby was not looking to good, his skin was not the deep black and white as it should be normal it was more like if he came out of a sand storm, it was dusty all over or I mean looks like it has dust all over I know it is not dust but it is how his skin looks like, I wonder if I have a bacterial infection on my tank of something else, how could I find out or what could be going wrong with my tank in regards to that? I certainly don't want to loose more fishes as I replace my yellow tang, well just pics of my tank ..... I would like to see pics of other tanks I enjoy sharing with the rest of you as much as seeing the pictures of other tanks, by the way any suggestions or comments regarding my issue with the fishes?...:::: let me show a pic of mu last loss
