I have a 70 gallon tank with a freedom all in one filtration/skimmer system that is large enough to do a 300 gallon tank. I have crushed coral, live sand, and 36 lbs of live rock. This tank has been up and running for about 3 months. I have a damsel fish and that is all that is left. I have lost other damsels, 2 wrasses, 4 clowns, a yellow tang. I have several scarlet hermit crabs and blue hermit crabs. I have 3 curly q anemones and a bulb tip anemone and red star fish, snails, peppermint shrimp and these are all doing great without any problems. They look wonderful My ph is where is should be, my nitrites are 0, salinity is 1.023-1.024, my amonnia is 0, my nitrates are 40 and I am working to bring that down. I also have 3 emarld crabs. I can't figure out what is going wrong. I did introduce the tang and the wrasses too close together however I have slowed down and took more time. They all ate good. I lost 2 clowns this morning that I had only had for 4 days, I did buy them at a local fish store but they were acting normally last night and first thing this morning and then a couple of hours later one was being ate by the emerald crab and the other one was floating upside and very pale. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am about ready to tear it down.
