i am not advocating a sacrificial fish but get a fish that is relatively cheap and non aggressive

but it grows on my power heads and edges of my tank at the top. you have to attack it in places of constant nutrient flow. that is why it is prevalent on your poweheads

it is NOT algae it is Cyanobacteria the good Dr Spanko can tell you all you need to know, just ask him BTW he makes some great S'mores

Your fish could also have internal parasites

do you test your own water, of course you know your fish could have JUST died, i would if my water tested ok try another fish and DONT use the floating bag method use the drip method and constantly watch the fish for signs of stress how much water did you add every ten minutes you state that...

your skimmer pump adds water and air into the skimming chamber the water has to be reintroduced some where what type of skimmer do you have

start by posting your water parameters. a fish dieing with in 10 min is obviously due to high toxicity if your is salinity ok , how are you reading it.

remember if you do not have a skimmer as of yet you have to factor in the pump foot print. most if not all manufacturers give you skimmer dimensions with out the pump attached. IMO do no put the skimmer in the same chamber with sand
