Sorry you lost him, I am no real help with fish diagnosis, keep an eye on the tang as my guess is that that will be your indicator fish.

edit, when did you last change your UV bulb?
Thanks. I’m sad but I really did all I could. If it had been one of the other fish I could’ve moved it to QT and started meds but mandarins just don’t so well in that environment. Kinda thought we were out of the woods with it since we’ve had him a month already but guess not. It was one my husband HAD to have, he told me this morning he doesn’t want another.

Sneak a green spotted in when he's not looking! ;)

I like those but it would have to have been aquaculture sand eating frozen foods, we feed a home made reef chili. This one wouldn’t touch it. I’m still not sure what happened but can’t always figure it out I guess.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
