I apologize if this post is not in the right area. I have a 25 gallon saltwater tank established for 6 months.
I recently went for 6 weeks without a water change, then did a 20% change. 1 week later my yellow tang (only in tank for 2 weeks prior died) AND my pseudochromis. I tested the water and Nitrates were 80ppm. everything else was 0. (salinity and temp were are same too) i removed the fish right away. and then changed another 20% water.
12 days later, I did a 20% water change, my hippo tang and percula were looking fine. I tested the water and Nitrates showed 40ppm. I also treated 10 aiptasia with aiptasia X.
Here I am 5 days later and the hippo and percula are now dead. I am devastated.
1) When the first 2 fish died at once, what should I have done?
2) How should i have recovered after 6 weeks with no change? (long story behind reason for delay, you don't want to know)
3) what do I do now?
