Fish were not QT'd. I unfortunately don't have room for a QT tank.... I drip acclimated my fish for about 30 min. I have no clue what's happening. I guess it'll have to sit dormant with just my corals and inverts for a while.
Found dead fish this morning!

Could it be possible my leather let off a toxin? I know it was mentioned on this thread .

People keep leathers all the time without issue. Their toxin is more directed at other corals as they "fight" for space.

My fish were not quarantined, I purchased the first 2 lots of fish, from a different supplier, to the the last one, I cannot possibly believe that it's a quarantine issue! And I'd imagine that if the water qualities were happy different they would die a lot quicker!

Unfortunately too, if you don't have room for a QT, leaving it fallow is great to eradicate any parasites in it now, but more than likely they will just be reintroduced. A 10 gallon tank can suffice as a qt for a few weeks at least. TTM and prazipro over 2 weeks is better than nothing.
It is odd that all 3 were dead at the same time!? Any chance of stray voltage? How did the fish look appearance wise? Did you see and flashing or rapid breathing, hiding, swimming into the flow?

I have spent a small fortune on different foods, cause every time I buy fish they are feeding on a different type, but when I put them in the tank, they just hide and don't eat. The damsel spent 3days happily building a den in behind the LR, then died

:sad2: My money is on your tank not being properly grounded.
Sorry about your fish.

It could be lots of things. Ammonia spike, someone sprayed cleaner in the room, or electrical shock. Because of the age of the tank, I would guess ammonia spike. How are you measuring your salinity? I killed a few fish before realizing I was doing that wrong.

Do you have any evidence the death was related the bio-load?

I have a ground probe in the tank and I havent checked into the heater situation. I did notice on my apex that there was a short time where my temp went from a steady 78 degrees down to 74 degrees for a short time....the fish appearance wise looked totally fine! no nipping, no chunks of fish missing, just dead together in the corner. I will keep the tank fallow for 6 weeks or longer to hopefully get out whatever is in my tank and to keep an eye on it. I really appreciate everyone's feed back and possibilities!

right before the death? Possible Power Outage, and lack of oxygen?

yea it was for about an hour or so...either way im at a loss. I guess ill just do my weekly water changes, make sure my parameters are good and keep the tank fishless for 6 weeks to be safe.
