I have had my reef tank setup for 4 months now. When I first started I added fish incrementally. I got a six line wrasse, then a clownfish, blue hippo tang, peppermint hogfish, and a mandarin goby. All 5 of my first fish were added no problem. They are all still healthy today. My sixth fish was a second clown and after the first day, it disappeared. Then a black cap basslet which also went missing until a week later when I found it against my powerhead. I then waited a month before added a purple tang which lasted less than a week I bought it back to Petco and they gave me another one that was in the same tank. It also died but even faster than the first one, both had ich but I treaded it with methylene blue they both hid in the cave and barely ate. I waited another two weeks and then added a yellow tang which appeared to be healthy and ate from the algae clip for the first few days before passing away. I found him being eaten by a sallylightfoot. All original 5 fish are healthier than ever and inverts have been added with no problems. Corals are all healthy and even coloring up. Nitrates are consistently 20 and salinity 1.026. I can't help but think that there must be something wrong. It makes no sense to me that the first five have never given me a problem.
