Main question is are the gobbies next, it has been about 2 weeks since last death.
The second question is: How long do I leave the tank alone before I add more fish?
NOTE: I am setting up quarinteen and hooking up my UV tonight.
BELOW ARE THE DETAILS
my second tank has been up for about 8 months and I have really started to populate it.
I had, Bangi, 2*6 year old oc clowns, watchman gobbie from orgianal tank.
Slowly over the last 6 weeks I have added in this order:
Yellow tang
Blue Eyed chocolate tang
Kohle tang
6 bar gobbies
hippo tang.
The hippo tang caused the issue. He was new to the store but had goon through their agressive dips.
He had no outwardly signs but kept rubbing against all the other tangs.
Then he had an almost instant outburst of ich or ich looking thing. I tried to pull him but could not get him out until he was almost dead 2 days latter. Within 5 days everything was dead including a very old abused striped damsel that lives in the sump called trooper (i had rescued him abt 4 years ago from a bad tank keeper).
I have many corals in the tank, snails, crabs, and a cleaner shrimp. It is at 1.020 salinaty, ph 8.2, temp 78, and other paramarters are fine except need to raise mg and calicum some.
