Over the last month, I have lost every single invertebrate I have purchased, as well as four other fish. I have a 49 gallon bowfront aquarium with an FX4 fluval filter, which is double the filtration "required" for the tank.
The first issue I noticed was that my specific gravity was way off. So I did distilled water to decrease it, which was successful. I have checked the PH constantly, but the levels tend to fluctuate. Recently, the ammonia just spiked and killed my hogfish I had bought less than two weeks ago. The other fish I have right now are OK (knock on wood) but my Haitian anemone died. I'm truthfully at a loss, but I'm starting to think there may be a fish disease involved. But... Which one? I know for sure, it is not ICK. But I truthfully have noooooo idea what other diseases there are? I currently have two Ocellaris Clownfish that have been there throughout the whole thing (but, the third I bought died) one six line wrasse and one lunar wrasse. I also have a blennie who is loving life.
Suggestions?? Thoughts??? HELP!!
