So yesterday I came home to 3 dead fish and no idea why so I am looking for some insite from you guys. Here are my tank specs:
46g bowfront
Stocking was 2 clowsfish, royal gramma, yellowtail blue damsel, diamond watchman goby plus ton of snails and crabs
3 small corals
Fluval 406 filter with phosguard added
35-40lbs live rock
live sand
been running for 1 year with no issues
Checked my water peramiters on Sunday before a water change and everything was normal. Phos 0, pH 8.4, nitrate 0, nitrite 0, ammonia 0, spec grav 1.024
I did a 20% water change on Sunday (I make my own water with my RODI unit and about 3 weeks ago changed all the filters in RODI unit including RO membrane. TDS is 0). I usually do 20% water change every other week and that has been working well for the tank. I also changed my filter media (charcoal and phosgaurd) which I do once a month.
All my fish were happy and swimming around on Sunday night, ate when I fed them. Monday when I got home from work I found 3 of my fish dead (the gramma, goby and damsel). checked my water peramiters and everything was the same as before Phos 0, pH 8.4, nitrate 0, nitrite 0, ammonia 0, spec grav 1.024. temp is steady at 78 degrees.
No idea what happened. Any ideas of things I should look into? The only thing going on is I have a moderate amount of Diatoms at the moment that I have been dealing with for about 2 weeks.
side note, I have nano tank that I use the same RODI water for and everything in there is perfectly fine.
I'm just looking to see if anyone has any suggestions or ideas because I have no idea what happened.
