Lost:'
Clown Tang, Cinamon tomato Clown, Bangi cardinal, both butterflies, Tile fish, pygmy angle,
Flag fin angle keeps swimming into the glass, Sailfin tang is very white and is starting to get big redish brown bruses in him. The bigger cinamon tomato clown is just lying in the anemone I don't know if she is feeling well, diamon goby who is always going to town on the sand, I haven't seen him all day, so I don't know about him.
All the test are showing,
Amonia - 1.0, nitrite- zero, nitrate back up to 50 again today, KH - 8.3, ALK - 2.97, ph 8.2, Salinity - 1.25, Temp - 79.9, as of 8:45 tonight.

sugar size araginite, I make my own RO/DI, I replaced all the filters and the membrane in July when I set up the tank. I brought the water in for Steve to check about 3 or 4 weeks ago, it was fine.

I understood what you explained about the capture of some of the fish and the cyinid (sp). But I don't understand how come it is effecting fish that I've had for a long time, some of these fish I've had for years. The sailfin tang about 4 years, pygmy angel about 4 years, bigger cinimon tomato clown about 2 years. So I don't understand the cyinid stuff on them.
If it is a parasite, how do I get rid of it, or do I need to wait until I loose all of them. If that is the case, I should pull them out now and get my torment over.

I understand your frustrations but:
1. I gave cyanide as a possible reason your fish did not make it.
2. The fish you purchased in my experience are a less than hardy species.
3. When fish die in a tank it opens the gates of hell and will more than likely affect your other fish. We all know what a dutch oven is and how you can correlate the two.
4. You could have prevented the mass die off with a simple 1 month quarantine.
5. You must understand all of the possible afflictions the fish could have had. Bacterial, parasitic, fungal, viral. Shipping could have given them damage to their internal organs making it only a matter of time before it caught up with them. Fish and people alike do not do good when their innards are pulverized.
Saltwater Fish have not evolved into something that waits "readily" to be transported thousands of miles over and be put in an artificial environment. For a good majority of fish that are captured to be sold is a miracle that they survive at all !!!
"Parasite" is so broad and yet so narrow. It is not a good term to use in trying to understand why a fish dies.
If you wanted to know a little on cyanide:
Cyanides are illegally used to capture live fish near coral reefs for the aquarium and seafood markets. This fishing occurs mainly in the Philippines, Indonesia and the Caribbean to supply the 2 million marine aquarium owners in the world. In this method, a diver uses a large, needle-less syringe to squirt a cyanide solution into areas where the fish are hiding, stunning them so that they can be easily gathered. Many fish caught in this fashion die immediately, or in shipping. Those that survive to find their way into pet stores often die from shock, or from massive digestive damage. The high concentrations of cyanide on reefs so harvested has also resulted in cases of cyanide poisoning among local fishermen and their families.
Environmental organizations decry the practice, as do some aquarist and aquarium dealers. To prevent the trade of illegally-caught aquarium fish, the Marine Aquarium Council (Headquarters: Honolulu, Hawaii) has created a certification in which the tropical fish are caught legally with nets only. To ensure authenticity, "MAC-Certified marine organisms bear the MAC-Certified label on the tanks and boxes in which they are kept and shipped." MAC Certification.
We can be either sceintific or emotional about it.
A third possibility would to be scientific with an open minded and compassionate heart. With information we can develop a better understanding of the "hobby" and give the lives of the creatures we confine a chance to live and thrive. We all have to learn, just please use what you learned.
