I need help!
I have a 180 gallon display tank with a 55 gallon refugium. I have a wave-maker and a good skimmer. The tank was set up with 125 lbs of live rock. (A Lawnmower Blenny stowed away in one of the rocks). All my water levels were good--ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, salt, etc. I have about 1150 watts of light--actinic, halogen, and moon. Everything seemed good, so I added 2 tiny Percula Clownfish, a scallop, an anemone, a fire shrimp, and a ribbon eel. Well, the Lawnmower Blenny is the only one that will eat. He seems very happy. Within a few days, the scallop died, the anemone died, and one of the Clownfish died; none of them will eat. I have tried misis shrimp, brine shrimp, and copepods. I don't know what to do next. Does anybody have ideas on how to de-stress the fish?
