I have 120 gal. with 55 fuge the tank has been up since 12-1-05 and all parameters are 0, salinity is 1.026 the ph is 8.2 and temp is 79 steady I feed them 1 frozen cube of a variety type mix (thawed of course)
1-25-06 1 clown died without warning
1-26-06 2nd clown died
1-29-06 blue-eyed cardinal died
1-31-06 yellow tailed damsel died
2-2-06 sail fin went awol (still looking)
2 engineer gobies doing just fine
1 foxface is doing some heavy breathing for 3 days now
1 8-line wrase doing great
corals are all growing
crabs and snails doing just fine
a couple days before each death they get whiteish/unclear areas on the clear parts of their fins and do heavy breathing
I have 2 hob filters without any filter pads and move 400 gph from the fuge to the main tank
A few weeks back I did not top off daily and then added 5 gal. all at once the salinity went from 1.027 to 1.024 then my problems started.
I am getting very discouraged and dont know why my fish are dieing and would like to treat them but I dont know what I am fighting.
