I will try to be specific...
I have 37 gal tank with the Eclipse system and double lights.
The tankhas been up about 8 months (it crashed about 2 months ago, but that was a chemical problem, that has been resolved)
After tank crashed...I cleaned out all dead stuff and went to RO/DI saltwater. Ran tank for approx. 2-3 weeks, went to LFS water tested fine. Added 3 turbo snails and 5 hermit crabs and a royal grama...very healthy fish, eating brine shrimp and blood worms.
1 week later
Added yellow tang and cleaner shrimp. added norri to the diet for the tang and iodine for th shrimp 1/2 cupful 2 x a week.
Tank doing great. LFS tested water again no problems.
1 week later added carpet anemone, flower/rock anemone, red lobster, serpent starfish and feather duster. added phytoplankton to diet, and clams/squid.
2 weeks later ....
get water tested again at LFS tests fine no issues
added a clownfish(nemo) on a thursday, by Friday night he was dead. Went to LFS they said they had been having problems with those fish and gave me a 6 line wrasse in its place. Beautiful fish. He made friends right away with the tang, but the gramma started acting werid...jetting all around the tank and then laying down. When I woke in the morning she( gramma) was gone. Then I noticed the Tang laying on its side and with in an hour she was gone. And by the end of the same day the wrasse was gone.
Question is is there some type to diease or parasite that only effect fish..caus everything else is great..So that makes me believe that itis not water quality.
Kinda lost here....Please help
