This seemed like the proper forum to post this but if it isn't please move it.
So I have lost 3 clownfish in the time span of a week. My water is perfect and I have a 6 line wrasse, starry blenny, green clown goby various shrimp, corals, snails, and crabs that all are fine and have been in the aquarium for a month or more. I cannot for the life of me figure why I'm losing clowns and my 4th is on the way out. Lost my first pair to what seemed like brooklynella so I bought a second pair from another store and one is already gone. I tested water again all looks good. 1.025, 8.2 pH. Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate is less than 5, phosphates are almost undetectable. I can get hardness and calcium if you need. Using red Sea coral pro salt. So I couldn't find why I was losing them. I tested for stray voltage and found 57 volts. All of my equipment is new. 90 days or newer. My heater is a eheim 350w,. I run two hydor powerheards on a korelia wave maker, I have a coralife uv filter and skimmer. A eheim pro 450+ cannister. Heater and cannister are my two biggest offenders contributing over half of the voltage, next in line are the power heads. It doesn't seem feasable to replace all of this equipment so on a whim I overnighted a grounding probe. Will the grounding probe help? I know most will say I need to replace this equipment but it just isn't in my budget right now. Any advice?
