i have a 55 gal tank with 2 topfin 300gph powerfilters. i have 60lb of crushed coral. i have had 3 occelaris,1 firefish, 2damsels die. my water levels are nitrite 0 nitrate 20 ph 8.2 ammonia 0 water temp. 76, my local fish store suggested it might be a lack of circulation so i bought the second power filter but it didn't work. my fish have been breathing heavily when they die, they scratched against my substrate but they didn't have any spots. So i did a fresh water dip and some still scratch nothig is working please tell me any thought or suggestions. :help: :help: :help:

The FW dip probably killed them. Setup a QT and then when you you start to see any problems, you can quickly and effectively deal with the problem. Buy only one fish at the time.
