for the last few days, I been waking up to dead fish tested the water and everything is fine could anyone help with what could be the problem.


Generally, if your corals and invertebrates are fine but you are losing fish, it is a fish disease. Here is a post that explains the information that we need to try to figure this out for you:

72 is really low for reef tank. I always thought 75 to 76 was on low end.
In the wild they have all kinds of fluctuating temps but it changes quickly with currents and upwellings.

My low temp alarms are at 75

72 is on the lower side of normal, but is totally fine is consistant. I ran my old 210 at 72 due to specific fish needs for years withour any adverse effect.

If the tank ran cosnistantly 72, you'd be fine. If it swung 5+ degrees, youre stressing the animals.

Pics and video uner white light, posted to youtube and linked here, would be needed to help.

72 is WAY too low for a reef tank, unless you were keeping a specific colder water fish. I run mine at 78.

so, I'm noticing that some of my fish are kind of pale and kind of very tiny bubble on the fins and body what could that be ??

Please post a clear picture of the fish, taken under white, not blue lights.
