I HAVE LOST THREE FISH IN THE PAST TWO DAYS. I'VE LOST A TANG, FOXFACE BADGERFISH, AND MY FAVORITE - PICCASSO TRIGGER. ALL OF MY LEVELS ARE FINE (NITRATES,NITRITES,PH,SALT,AND TEMP.) I FOUND NOTHING ON THE FISH LIKE ICK, OR FUNGUS. ANY INFO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED, IT'S STARTING TO GET $$$$$$.

MY TANK IS 75GAL.,ABOUT 2YRS OLD, FISH WERE IN TANK FOR 9-12MOS. FISH ONLY TANK,PLENTY OF ROCK AND CORAL, LOTS OF WATER FLOW AND FILTRATION. I DO PARTIAL WATER CHANGE EVERY TWO WEEKS( ABOUT 20GAL). DIET HAS BEEN THE SAME FOR LONG TIME. FLAKES, SEAWEED, BLOODWORMS, AND BRINE SHRIMP. NOT BEEN OVERFEEDING. CLOWNFISH AND DAMSELS DOING GREAT.

What are the water readings??? Alot of people say that they are ok when in fact alot of times they are not. Is there anything,I mean ANYTHING, that you did or changes in the tank before this started to happen??? Trying to help here,but so far I see nothing that can point to a problem. There has to be something. How 'bout those readings. STEVE

PH IS 8.2,NITRATES NON-DETECTABLE,NITRITES NON-DETECTABLE,SALT 1025 TEMP 80F. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING DIFFERENT IN MY TANK LATELY. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS ALSO INTO SALTWATER AND IS MUCH MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE THAN I, AND HE'S CONFUSED ALSO. I CAN'T FIND ANY REASON MY FISH BOUGHT THE FARM, BUT THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG, I'M JUST MISSING IT. MAYBE FISH SUICIDE?

It sounds like an outside pollutant may have gotten into your water. Maybe air freshener, hairspray, alot of cigarette smoke, etc. Anything on your hands?

Ammonia Level?
Clean anything with clorine that went into tank?
Used any paint, harsh chemicals around tank?
Water temp too high or to low?
Any mean people or kids that may have added something harmful?
What did fish look like and how did they behave just prior to death?
