I don't understand!!!

[JodiLynn1981]

I've had my tank for a few months now. Everything was going well, until I decided to move it to another area of the house. Since then, everything has gone downhill. My corals died, two shrimps have died, a few crabs died....I have no idea what is going on! I'm basically only left with a few fish, some emerald crabs, and snails...

I'm going to have my water tested Friday, but I don't understand what could have suddenly affected everything. The only other thing I did when I moved my tank was changed the water. Everyone here seems to think maybe the tank is getting a draft but I have been monitoring the water temp quite closely lately.

Any advice???

sounds like somthing got stirred up and caused a spike of some sort. What are your water peramiters at right now?

Sounds like you had a cycle from moving the tank. I would test your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate asap. Andj once the downward spiral starts it's hard to stop. Get all dead/dying stuff out of the tank, do a water change, and run some carbon.

Do you test your own water?? I would say test it now and not wait until friday.

If i were you id buy test kits, its ok to have your lfs double check, but much easier to have them in case of emergency.
