I have a buddy that just moved and reset his tank up. The tank has gone through all the normal cycles all parameters are great he has a few fish in there and a couple of inverts. Fish are coral beauty and some damels, inverts are coral banded shrimp some snails. He reused the same rock and hasn't any new rock so no hitchhikers. No huge algea out break so no false readings. Ph has been great and stable. Have tested for copper and found none. Now for the question... He has added a sea urchin and died within a day. It was pretty much dust. he has added a new fish died within a day, added sails and died within a day. Everything looks pretty much destroyed that dies. The other fish and inverts though going on liveing with no probs. My buddy isn't a newbie and has introuduced fish before. So that isn't the issue. Now before anybody says it he will not be adding anthing untill he gets this resolved.
The tank is 90gallon with about 80lbs live rock. The one thing that I have suspion about is that he has crushed coral for a sand bed.
PS he also does water changes 2wice a month.. Sorry for the long post but this one has me stumped :thinking: What have I over looked.
Thanks in advance. :help:
