Well, I'm sorry Aquaknight, I thought I was being responsible. I made a mistake... Like I said, I'm stupid. It won't happen again.

So, let's see...I overstocked my tank, I'm not doing enough water changes, my nitrate, phosphate and nitrite are too high and my specific gravity is too high. Funny, I have successfully kept my tank up and running this long. Still thinking about draining the tank. Maybe I wasn't meant to be a...

Oh, and as far as my tank being overstocked, I'm not arguing with you (I agree, I overstocked my tank). I have a friend who has a 55 gallon with more livestock in it than in mine....hers is doing fine, and it's over a year old. I also have a protein skimmer...forgot to mention that above.

I have a hang-on-back refugium, power filter, canister filter, and about 90 lbs live rock + live sand bed. Would like to have a sump, but have no room.

One of my derasa clams is dead as well...just found out.

Flame could only have been dead for 4 hours at the most. I have a covered tank...there is just one small gap in the backstrip of one cover...that's where the wrasse jumped. Guess I should just sell all of my livestock and drain the tank. I'm an idiot, I don't know what I'm doing, and I don't...

Last check, everyone else seems to be doing ok. Hope I don't lose anymore livestock.

Maybe I'm not changing my water often enough?

Oh, and what I have left: foxface rabbitfish, blue hippo tang, scopas tang, lawnmower blenny, longfin fairy wrasse, purple firefish, 2 ocellaris clowns, 3 blue-green chromis, 2 pajama cardinals, several corals (mostly soft corals), 2 condy anemones, 2 bubble anemones, several crabs, snails...

I have checked the water I'm doing changes with...no phosphate or nitrate or nitrite. I know the nitrite and phosphate are high, but they've been high for the last 2 or 3 checks, so not a new sudden change. Last check before this one (about 2 weeks ago) was Phos 0.5 and nitrite 0.25.

well, it's good to know at least somebody read my post

I guess not many people are up at this hour

I just want to have some idea before I lose more livestock!

I just did a routine water change (10 gallons for my 60 gallon tank) like I always do weekly. I woke up at 3 am and checked my tank...found one of my wrasses jumped out, my flame angelfish dead on the bottom, and now one my my skunk cleaner shrimp dead. Help! I don't know what is wrong...

That pH reading was in the evening. My coral is fine, hasn't done anything like that since.

No, I actually watched it spit it out from it's "mouth". It's completely sucked it back in now. I think it's going to be ok. Just kinda freaked me out.. I've had this coral the longest (the first one I got, 3 months ago), and I haven't seen it do that before.
