Well all i can tell you at the moment is that i read that damsels
are knownto cause damage. So keep an eye on them.
Tell you the truth i and another friend found out personaly along time ago.
Which was the last fish you brought?:happyfish

Need more info:
Since your readings seem Ok,
What water are you using? Ro/DI, tap
How long has tank been set up?
Do you have circulation...power heads..etc.
How long did you have fish before they died?
Was fish bought on line or from LFS
Acclimation? how long?
What temperature is tank at?
Number / kinds of fish
Is there ample hiding places / LR etc.
All of these factors can help determine what may or may not be causing the loss of your fish. :)

This sounds to me like brooklynella...there's a pic of this in the disease forum FAQ sticky. Did it look like that?
I also agree about the damsels, they are very territorial and will most likely kill each other.

well i have had the tank set up for about 6 months now and i have had the clown fish about ever sense. I don't recall aclimating it b/c i didnt know what it was at the time but now i do
well another fish that died was my yellow tang....i had him for about 6 days and he died....i aclimated him for about 1 1/2 hours.....there is plenty of rocks and hinding places for it to get accustom to my aggressive damsels. however after a day he looked completely fine.....back to the clown.....i bought another clown at the same time so basically i had twins, this one is swimming like a champ......if i were to want to get rid of my damnsels any sugestions on how to do it b/c as i keep reading on here they are just a hastle....any suggestions on what i should get?!?! because i love the tropical fish....well thanks for you time guys and gals!
