Salinity is low, because the I have read that for fish only you can keep at 1.017, for accimilation floated bag for 30 minutes, then added some my water, then dumped water then released fish in tank
Current fish in tank
Maroon clown pair
Six Line Wrasse
Goby
Bluen Tang
Foxface
Flamehawk
the problem is new fish are not living more than 3 days that I add to the tank, they are fine until the 3rd day, I saw some blotches on my naso tang this morning

Nitrates are at about 10, no real aggression from blue tang, basically any fish I add to the tank dies in 3 days, eats for 2 well, then dies on 3rd day, I am puzzled don't know what to do
Accimilation is as follows
I float the bag for about 20 minutes, then add water from my tank every 10 minutes for about 30 minutes, then dump fish in tank

Your not dumping the water that the fish came home in into your tank are you? Ive been told that is a definite no-no due to conditions beyond your control at the LFS. Could they possibly be sending you ich in the water and you are dumping it into your tank?
